FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The invention also relates to the use of the innovative proteins in therapeutic applications to treat atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia and other cholesterol related diseases.

INTRODUCTION

Atherosclerosis is a disease of the arteries responsible for coronary heart disease (CHD) that underlies most deaths in industrialized countries (Lusis (2000)). Several risk factors for CHD have now been well established: dyslipidemias, hypertension, diabetes, smoking, poor diet, inactivity and stress. The most clinically relevant and common dyslipidemias are characterized by an increase in low density lipoprotein and very low density lipoproteins (LDL and VLDL) with hypercholesterolemia in the absence or presence of hypertriglyceridemia (Fredrickson et al. (1967)). An isolated elevation of LDL cholesterol is one of the most common risk factors for CHD. PCSK9 (also referred to as HCHOLA3, NARC-1, or FH3) is a protease belonging to the proteinase K subfamily of the secretory subtilase family (Naureckiene et al., Arch. Biochem. Biophy., 420:55-57 (2003)). PCSK9 has been shown to be a key regulator of cholesterol homeostasis and circulating low density lipoprotein levels. Circulating PCSK9 protein controls LDL metabolism by directly binding to the LDL receptor and promoting its degradation in hepatocytes. PCSK9-mediated down-regulation of LDL receptor protein and activity leads to reduced clearance of LDL from the circulation and higher LDL levels. Several mutant forms of PCSK9 are known, including S127R, N157K, F216L, R218S, and D374Y, with S127R, F216L, and D374Y being linked to autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH). It is believed that wild-type PCSK9 increases the turnover rate of the LDL receptor causing lower LDL clearance (Maxwell et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 102(6):2069-2074 (2005); Benjannet et al. and Lalanne et al.), while PCSK9 loss of function mutations result in increased levels of low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), increased clearance of circulating LDL, and a corresponding decrease in plasma cholesterol levels (Rashid et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 102(15):5374-5379 (2005)). As such, PCSK9 is a potential target for the treatment of atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia and other cholesterol related diseases.

Fibronectin based scaffolds are a family of proteins capable of evolving to bind any compound of interest. These proteins, which generally make use of a scaffold derived from a fibronectin type III (Fn3) or Fn3-like domain, function in a manner characteristic of natural or engineered antibodies (that is, polyclonal, monoclonal, or single-chain antibodies) and, in addition, possess structural advantages. Specifically, the structure of these antibody mimics has been designed for optimal folding, stability, and solubility, even under conditions that normally lead to the loss of structure and function in antibodies. An example of fibronectin-based scaffold proteins is Adnectins (Adnexus, a Bristol-Myers Squibb R&D Company).

Fibronectin type III (Fn3) domains comprise, in order from N-terminus to C-terminus, a beta or beta-like strand, A; a loop, AB; a beta or beta-like strand, B; a loop, BC; a beta or beta-like strand C; a loop CD; a beta or beta-like strand D; a loop DE; a beta or beta-like strand, E; a loop, EF; a beta or beta-like strand F; a loop FG; and a beta or beta-like strand G. Any or all of loops AB, BC, CD, DE, EF and FG may participate in target binding. The BC, DE, and FG loops are both structurally and functionally analogous to the complementarity determining regions (CDRs) from immunoglobulins. U.S. Pat. No. 7,115,396 describes Fn3 domain proteins wherein alterations to the BC, DE, and FG loops result in high affinity TNFα binders. U.S. Publication No. 2007/0148126 describes Fn3 domain proteins wherein alterations to the BC, DE, and FG loops result in high affinity VEGFR2 binders.

It would be advantageous to obtain improved fibronectin domain scaffold proteins that bind PCSK9 for the therapeutic treatment of atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia and other cholesterol related diseases.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Definitions

By a “polypeptide” is meant any sequence of two or more amino acids, regardless of length, post-translation modification, or function. “Polypeptide,” “peptide,” and “protein” are used interchangeably herein. Polypeptides can include natural amino acids and non-natural amino acids such as those described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,559,126, incorporated herein by reference. Polypeptides can also be modified in any of a variety of standard chemical ways (e.g., an amino acid can be modified with a protecting group; the carboxy-terminal amino acid can be made into a terminal amide group; the amino-terminal residue can be modified with groups to, e.g., enhance lipophilicity; or the polypeptide can be chemically glycosylated or otherwise modified to increase stability or in vivo half-life). Polypeptide modifications can include the attachment of another structure such as a cyclic compound or other molecule to the polypeptide and can also include polypeptides that contain one or more amino acids in an altered configuration (i.e., R or S; or, L or D). The peptides of the invention are proteins derived from the tenth type III domain of fibronectin that have been modified to bind specifically to PCSK9 and are referred to herein as, “anti-PCSK9 Adnectin” or “PCSK9 Adnectin”.

The term “PK” is an acronym for “pharmacokinetic” and encompasses properties of a compound including, by way of example, absorption, distribution, metabolism, and elimination by a subject. A “PK modulation protein” or “PK moiety” refers to any protein, peptide, or moiety that affects the pharmacokinetic properties of a biologically active molecule when fused to or administered together with the biologically active molecule. Examples of a PK modulation protein or PK moiety include PEG, human serum albumin (HSA) binders (as disclosed in U.S. Publication Nos. 2005/0287153 and 2007/0003549, PCT Publication Nos. WO 2009/083804 and WO 2009/133208, and SABA molecules as described herein), human serum albumin, Fc or Fc fragments and variants thereof, and sugars (e.g., sialic acid).

“Percent (%) amino acid sequence identity” herein is defined as the percentage of amino acid residues in a candidate sequence that are identical with the amino acid residues in a selected sequence, after aligning the sequences and introducing gaps, if necessary, to achieve the maximum percent sequence identity, and not considering any conservative substitutions as part of the sequence identity. Alignment for purposes of determining percent amino acid sequence identity can be achieved in various ways that are within the skill in the art, for instance, using publicly available computer software such as BLAST, BLAST-2, ALIGN, ALIGN-2 or Megalign (DNASTAR®) software. Those skilled in the art can determine appropriate parameters for measuring alignment, including any algorithms needed to achieve maximal alignment over the full-length of the sequences being compared.

An “isolated” polypeptide is one that has been identified and separated and/or recovered from a component of its natural environment. Contaminant components of its natural environment are materials that would interfere with diagnostic or therapeutic uses for the polypeptide, and may include enzymes, hormones, and other proteinaceous or nonproteinaceous solutes. In preferred embodiments, the polypeptide will be purified (1) to greater than 95% by weight of polypeptide as determined by the Lowry method, and most preferably more than 99% by weight, (2) to a degree sufficient to obtain at least residues of N-terminal or internal amino acid sequence by use of a spinning cup sequenator, or (3) to homogeneity by SDS-PAGE under reducing or nonreducing condition using Coomassie blue or, preferably, silver stain. Isolated polypeptide includes the polypeptide in situ within recombinant cells since at least one component of the polypeptide's natural environment will not be present. Ordinarily, however, isolated polypeptide will be prepared by at least one purification step.

The notations “mpk”, “mg/kg”, or “mg per kg” refer to milligrams per kilogram. All notations are used interchangeably throughout the present disclosure.

The “half-life” of an amino acid sequence or compound can generally be defined as the time taken for the serum concentration of the polypeptide to be reduced by 50%, in vivo, for example due to degradation of the sequence or compound and/or clearance or sequestration of the sequence or compound by natural mechanisms. The half-life can be determined in any manner known per se, such as by pharmacokinetic analysis. Suitable techniques will be clear to the person skilled in the art, and may for example generally involve the steps of suitably administering to the primate a suitable dose of the amino acid sequence or compound of the invention; collecting blood samples or other samples from said primate at regular intervals; determining the level or concentration of the amino acid sequence or compound of the invention in said blood sample; and calculating, from (a plot of) the data thus obtained, the time until the level or concentration of the amino acid sequence or compound of the invention has been reduced by 50% compared to the initial level upon dosing. Reference is, for example, made to the standard handbooks, such as Kenneth, A. et al., Chemical Stability of Pharmaceuticals: A Handbook for Pharmacists and in Peters et al., Pharmacokinete Analysis: A Practical Approach (1996). Reference is also made to Gibaldi, M. et al., Pharmacokinetics, 2nd Rev. Edition, Marcel Dekker (1982).

Half-life can be expressed using parameters such as the t_(1/2)-alpha, t_(1/2)-beta, HL_Lambda_z, and the area under the curve (AUC). In the present specification, an “increase in half-life” refers to an increase in any one of these parameters, any two of these parameters, any three of these parameters or all four of these parameters. An “increase in half-life” in particular refers to an increase in the t_(1/2)-beta and/or HL_Lambda_z, either with or without an increase in the t_(1/2)-alpha and/or the AUC or both.

Overview

This application provides Adnectins against human PCSK9. In order to identify PCSK9 specific antagonists, PCSK9 was presented to large synthetic libraries of Adnectins. Adnectins that bound to PCSK9 were screened for PCSK9 binding, for biophysical properties, and for PCSK9 inhibitory activity. The anti-PCSK9 Adnectins were mutated and subjected to further selective pressure by lowering the target concentration and selecting for anti-PCSK9 Adnectins with slow off-rates. From this optimization process, a family of Adnectins was identified as PCSK9 specific inhibitors with favorable biochemical and biophysical properties.

Fibronectin Based Scaffolds

One aspect of the application provides for polypeptides comprising Fn3 domain in which one or more of the solvent accessible loops has been randomized or mutated. In some embodiments, the Fn3 domain is an Fn3 domain derived from the wild-type tenth module of the human fibronectin type III domain (¹⁰Fn3): VSDVPRDLEVVAATPTSLLISWDAPAVTVRYYRITYGETGGNSPVQEFTVPGSKS TATISGLKPGVDYTITVYAVTGRGDSPASSKPISINYRT (SEQ ID NO: 1). In the ¹⁰Fn3 sequence, the BC, DE and FG loops are underlined.

As described herein, non-ligand binding sequences of ¹⁰Fn3, i.e., the “¹⁰Fn3 scaffold”, may be altered provided that the ¹⁰Fn3 retains ligand binding function and/or structural stability. A variety of mutant ¹⁰Fn3 scaffolds have been reported. In one aspect, one or more of Asp 7, Glu 9, and Asp 23 is replaced by another amino acid, such as, for example, a non-negatively charged amino acid residue (e.g., Asn, Lys, etc.). These mutations have been reported to have the effect of promoting greater stability of the mutant ¹⁰Fn3 at neutral pH as compared to the wild-type form (See, PCT Publication No. WO 02/04523). A variety of additional alterations in the ¹⁰Fn3 scaffold that are either beneficial or neutral have been disclosed. See, for example, Batori et al., Protein Eng., 15(12):1015-1020 (December 2002); Koide et al., Biochemistry, 40(34):10326-10333 (Aug. 28, 2001).

Both variant and wild-type ¹⁰Fn3 proteins are characterized by the same structure, namely seven beta-strand domain sequences designated A through G and six loop regions (AB loop, BC loop, CD loop, DE loop, EF loop, and FG loop) which connect the seven beta-strand domain sequences. The beta strands positioned closest to the N- and C-termini may adopt a beta-like conformation in solution. In SEQ ID NO:1, the AB loop corresponds to residues 15-16, the BC loop corresponds to residues 21-30, the CD loop corresponds to residues 39-45, the DE loop corresponds to residues 51-56, the EF loop corresponds to residues 60-66, and the FG loop corresponds to residues 76-87 (Xu et al., Chemistry & Biology, 9:933-942 (2002)).

In some embodiments, the ¹⁰Fn3 polypeptide may be at least 40%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, or 90% identical to the human ¹⁰Fn3 domain, shown in SEQ ID NO:1. Much of the variability will generally occur in one or more of the loops. Each of the beta or beta-like strands of a ¹⁰Fn3 polypeptide may consist essentially of an amino acid sequence that is at least 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or 100% identical to the sequence of a corresponding beta or beta-like strand of SEQ ID NO:1, provided that such variation does not disrupt the stability of the polypeptide in physiological conditions.

In some embodiments, the disclosure provides polypeptides comprising a tenth fibronectin type III (¹⁰Fn3) domain, wherein the ¹⁰Fn3 domain comprises a loop, AB; a loop, BC; a loop, CD; a loop, DE; a loop EF; and a loop FG; and has at least one loop selected from loop BC, DE, and FG with an altered amino acid sequence relative to the sequence of the corresponding loop of the human ¹⁰Fn3 domain. In some embodiments, the BC and FG loops are altered, and in some embodiments, the BC, DE, and FG loops are altered, i.e., the Fn3 domains comprise non-naturally occurring loops. In some embodiments, the AB, CD and/or the EF loops are altered. By “altered” is meant one or more amino acid sequence alterations relative to a template sequence (corresponding human fibronectin domain) and includes amino acid additions, deletions, and substitutions. Altering an amino acid sequence may be accomplished through intentional, blind, or spontaneous sequence variation, generally of a nucleic acid coding sequence, and may occur by any technique, for example, PCR, error-prone PCR, or chemical DNA synthesis.

In some embodiments, one or more loops selected from BC, DE, and FG may be extended or shortened in length relative to the corresponding human fibronectin loop.

In some embodiments, the length of the loop may be extended by 2-25 amino acids. In some embodiments, the length of the loop may be decreased by 1-11 amino acids. To optimize antigen binding, therefore, the length of a loop of ¹⁰Fn3 may be altered in length as well as in sequence to obtain the greatest possible flexibility and affinity in antigen binding.

In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises a Fn3 domain that comprises an amino acid sequence at least 80, 85, 90, 95, 98, 99 or 100% identical to the non-loop regions of SEQ ID NO:1, wherein at least one loop selected from BC, DE, and FG is altered. In some embodiments, the altered BC loop has up to 10 amino acid substitutions, up to 4 amino acid deletions, up to 10 amino acid insertions, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the altered DE loop has up to 6 amino acid substitutions, up to 4 amino acid deletions, up to 13 amino acid insertions or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, the FG loop has up to 12 amino acid substitutions, up to 11 amino acid deletions, up to 25 amino acid insertions or a combination thereof.

As described above, amino acid residues corresponding to residues 21-30, 51-56, and 76-87 of SEQ ID NO: 1 define the BC, DE, and FG loops, respectively. However, it should be understood that not every residue within the loop region needs to be modified in order to achieve a ¹⁰Fn3 binder having strong affinity for a desired target (e.g., PCSK9).

For example, residues 21 (S) and 22 (W) of the BC loop as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 do not need to be modified for binding PCSK9. That is, ¹⁰Fn3 domains with high affinity binding to PCSK9 may be obtained by modifying only residues 23-30 of loop BC as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. This is demonstrated in the BC loops exemplified in Table 3, which indicates that only the residues spanning the shaded positions were altered. Therefore, in some embodiments, a BC loop according to this designation comprises the shaded portion of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 2-17, 106-135, and 301-303 as shown in Table 3. For example, in one embodiment, a BC loop may comprise the sequence PPPSHGYG (residues 3-10 of SEQ ID NO: 2), DAPAHAYG (residues 3-10 of SEQ ID NO: 5), EPFSRLPGGGE (residues 3-13 of SEQ ID NO: 106), or DAPADGGYG (residues 3-11 of SEQ ID NO: 107).

Similarly, positions 51 (P) and 56 (T) of loop DE as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 do not need to be modified for binding PCSK9. That is, ¹⁰Fn3 domains with high affinity binding to PCSK9 may be obtained by modifying only residues 52-55 of loop DE as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. This is demonstrated in the DE loops exemplified in Table 3, which indicates that only the residues spanning the shaded positions were altered. Therefore, in some embodiments, a DE loop according to this designation comprises the shaded portion of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 18-27 and 136-141, as shown in Table 3. For example, in one embodiment, a DE loop may comprise the sequence PGKG (residues 2-5 of SEQ ID NO: 18), VGVG (residues 2-5 SEQ ID NO: 27), or VSKS (residues 2-5 of SEQ ID NO: 137).

Likewise, position 87 (P) of the FG loop as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1 does not need to be modified for binding PCSK9. That is, ¹⁰Fn3 domains with high affinity binding to PCSK9 may be obtained by modifying only residues 76-86 of the FG loop as shown in SEQ ID NO: 1. This is demonstrated in the FG loops exemplified in Table 3, which indicates that only the residues spanning the shaded positions were altered. Therefore, in some embodiments, an FG loop according to this designation comprises the shaded portion of any one of SEQ ID NOs: 28-38 and 142-172, as shown in Table 3. For example, in one embodiment, an FG loop may comprise the sequence EYPYKHSGYYHR (residues 1-12 in SEQ ID NO: 28), EYPYDYSGYYHR (residues 1-12 in SEQ ID NO: 142), or EFDFVGAGYYHR (residues 1-12 in SEQ ID NO: 167).

In some embodiments, the present application demonstrates that the BC, DE, and FG loop regions can be generally described according to consensus sequences. For example, the BC loop can be generally defined by the consensus sequence SW(X₁)_(Z)X₂G (SEQ ID NO: 323) where X₁ is any amino acid, Z is a number from 6-9, and X₂ is Y or H. This consensus sequence is exemplified by BC loops shown in Table 3 except for the BC loop defined by SEQ ID NO: 106. In other embodiments, Z is a number selected from 2-5. In certain embodiments, Z is a number selected from 10-15. In some embodiments, X₂ is any aromatic residue (i.e., Y, F, W, or H).

In another embodiment, the DE loop can be generally defined by the consensus sequence PX₁X₁X₁X₃T, (SEQ ID NO: 324) where X₁ is any amino acid and X₃ is G or S. This consensus is exemplified by the DE loops shown in Table 3.

In another embodiment, the FG loop can be generally defined by the consensus sequence EX₄X₁X₅X₁X₁X₆GYX₄HRP (SEQ ID NO: 325), where X₁ is any amino acid; X₄ is Y or F; X₅ is Y, F, or W; and X₆ is S or A. In certain embodiments, X₄ and X₅ are aromatic residues, each independently selected from Y, F, W, or H. This consensus is exemplified by the FG loops shown in Table 3.

Accordingly, in certain embodiments, the present disclosure provides a PCSK9 binding Adnectin comprising a BC loop having the sequence SW(X₁)_(Z)X₂G (SEQ ID NO: 323), a DE loop having the sequence PX₁X₁X₁X₃T (SEQ ID NO: 324), and an FG loop having the sequence EX₄X₁X₅X₁X₁X₆GYX₄HRP (SEQ ID NO: 325), as defined above.

In another embodiment, the present disclosure provides a PCSK9 binding Adnectin comprising a BC loop having the sequence SWEPFSRLPGGGE (SEQ ID NO: 106), a DE loop having the sequence PX₁X₁X₁X₃T (SEQ ID NO: 324), and an FG loop having the sequence EX₄X₁X₅X₁X₁X₆GYX₄HRP (SEQ ID NO: 325), as defined above.

In certain embodiments, a BC loop can be generally defined by the consensus sequence (X₁)_(Z)X₂G (SEQ ID NO: 449) where X₁ is any amino acid, Z is a number from 6-9, and X₂ is Y or H. This consensus sequence is exemplified by BC loops shown in Table 3 except for the BC loop defined by SEQ ID NO: 106. In other embodiments, Z is a number selected from 2-5. In certain embodiments, Z is a number selected from 10-15. In some embodiments, X₂ is any aromatic residue (i.e., Y, F, W, or H).

In certain embodiments, the DE loop can be generally defined by the consensus sequence X₁X₁X₁X₃, (SEQ ID NO: 450) where X₁ is any amino acid and X₃ is G or S. This consensus is demonstrated by the DE loops shown in Table 3.

In certain embodiments, the FG loop can be generally defined by the consensus sequence EX₄X₁X₅X₁X₁X₆GYX₄HR (SEQ ID NO: 451), where X₁ is any amino acid; X₄ is Y or F; X₅ is Y, F, or W; and X₆ is S or A. In some embodiments, X₄ and X₅ are aromatic residues, each independently selected from Y, F, W, or H. This consensus is exemplified by the FG loops shown in Table 3.

Accordingly, in one embodiment, the present disclosure provides a PCSK9 binding Adnectin having a BC loop comprising the sequence (X₁)_(Z)X₂G (SEQ ID NO: 449), a DE loop comprising the sequence X₁X₁X₁X₃ (SEQ ID NO: 450), and an FG loop comprising the sequence EX₄X₁X₅X₁X₁X₆GYX₄HR (SEQ ID NO: 451), as defined above.

Fibronectin naturally binds certain types of integrins through its integrin-binding motif, “arginine-glycine˜aspartic acid” (RGD). In some embodiments, the polypeptide comprises a ¹⁰Fn3 domain that lacks the (RGD) integrin binding motif. The integrin binding domain may be removed by altering the RGD sequence by amino acid substitution, deletion or insertion.

In certain embodiments, the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin molecules of the present invention may be modified to comprise an N-terminal extension sequence and/or a C-terminal extension. For example, an MG sequence may be placed at the N-terminus of the ¹⁰Fn3 defined by SEQ ID NO: 1. The M will usually be cleaved off, leaving a G at the N-terminus. Alternatively, the first 10 amino acids of the anti-PCSK9 Adnectins shown in Table 4 may be replaced with an alternative N-terminal sequence, referred to herein as N-terminal extensions, as shown in Table 6 (i.e., SEQ ID NOs: 371-379). In addition, an M, G or MG may also be placed N-terminal to any of the N-terminal extensions having SEQ ID NOs: 371-379. The anti-PCSK9 Adnectins described herein may also comprise alternative C-terminal tail sequences, referred to herein as C-terminal extension sequences. For example, the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin sequences shown in Table 4 may be truncated at the threonine corresponding to T94 of SEQ ID NO: 1 (i.e., truncated after the INYRT (SEQ ID NO: 636) portion of the sequence). Such truncated version may be used as therapeutic molecules in the truncated form, or alternative C-terminal extensions may be added after the threonine residue. Exemplary C-terminal extension sequences are shown in Table 6 as SEQ ID NOs: 380-395. Exemplary anti-PCSK9 Adnectins comprising C-terminal extension sequences are shown in Table 4. For example, SEQ ID NO: 49 (clone 1813E02) comprises the naturally occurring C-terminal extension EIDKPSQ (SEQ ID NO: 380) followed by a His6 tag (SEQ ID NO: 637). However, it should be understood that the His6 tag is completely optional.

In certain embodiments, the C-terminal extension sequences (also called “tails”), comprise E and D residues, and may be between 8 and 50, 10 and 30, 10 and 20, 5 and 10, and 2 and 4 amino acids in length. In some embodiments, tail sequences include ED-based linkers in which the sequence comprises tandem repeats of ED. In exemplary embodiments, the tail sequence comprises 2-10, 2-7, 2-5, 3-10, 3-7, 3-5, 3, 4 or 5 ED repeats. In certain embodiments, the ED-based tail sequences may also include additional amino acid residues, such as, for example: EI (SEQ ID NO: 385), EID, ES, EC, EGS, and EGC. Such sequences are based, in part, on known Adnectin tail sequences, such as EIDKPSQ (SEQ ID NO: 380), in which residues D and K have been removed. In exemplary embodiments, the ED-based tail comprises an E, I or EI (SEQ ID NO: 385) residues before the ED repeats.

In other embodiments, the N- or C-terminal sequences may be combined with other known linker sequences (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 396-419 in Table 6) as necessary when designing an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin fusion molecule. Exemplary anti-PCSK9 Adnectin comprising linker sequences are shown in Table 4 (e.g., SEQ ID NOs: 53, 55, and 57). In some embodiments, sequences may be placed at the C-terminus of the ¹⁰Fn3 domain to facilitate attachment of a pharmacokinetic moiety. For example, a cysteine containing linker such as GSGC (SEQ ID NO:77) may be added to the C-terminus to facilitate site directed PEGylation on the cysteine residue.

Pharmacokinetic Moieties

In one aspect, the application provides for anti-PCSK9 Adnectins further comprising a pharmacokinetic (PK) moiety. Improved pharmacokinetics may be assessed according to the perceived therapeutic need. Often it is desirable to increase bioavailability and/or increase the time between doses, possibly by increasing the time that a protein remains available in the serum after dosing. In some instances, it is desirable to improve the continuity of the serum concentration of the protein over time (e.g., decrease the difference in serum concentration of the protein shortly after administration and shortly before the next administration). The anti-PCSK9 Adnectin may be attached to a moiety that reduces the clearance rate of the polypeptide in a mammal (e.g., mouse, rat, or human) by greater than three-fold relative to the unmodified anti-PCSK9 Adnectin. Other measures of improved pharmacokinetics may include serum half-life, which is often divided into an alpha phase and a beta phase. Either or both phases may be improved significantly by addition of an appropriate moiety.

Moieties that tend to slow clearance of a protein from the blood, herein referred to as “PK moieties”, include polyoxyalkylene moieties, e.g., polyethylene glycol, sugars (e.g., sialic acid), and well-tolerated protein moieties (e.g., Fc and fragments and variants thereof, transferrin, or serum albumin). The anti-PCSK9 Adnectin may be fused to albumin or a fragment (portion) or variant of albumin as described in U.S. Publication No. 2007/0048282. In some embodiments, the PCSK9 Adnectin may be fused to one or more serum albumin binding Adnectin, as described herein.

In some embodiments, the PK moiety is a serum albumin binding protein such as those described in U.S. Publication Nos. 2007/0178082 and 2007/0269422.

In some embodiments, the PK moiety is a serum immunoglobulin binding protein such as those described in U.S. Publication No. 2007/0178082

In some embodiments, the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin comprises polyethylene glycol (PEG). One or more PEG molecules may be attached at different positions on the protein, and such attachment may be achieved by reaction with amines, thiols or other suitable reactive groups. The amine moiety may be, for example, a primary amine found at the N-terminus of a polypeptide or an amine group present in an amino acid, such as lysine or arginine. In some embodiments, the PEG moiety is attached at a position on the polypeptide selected from the group consisting of: a) the N-terminus; b) between the N-terminus and the most N-terminal beta strand or beta-like strand; c) a loop positioned on a face of the polypeptide opposite the target-binding site; d) between the C-terminus and the most C-terminal beta strand or beta-like strand; and e) at the C-terminus.

Pegylation may be achieved by site-directed pegylation, wherein a suitable reactive group is introduced into the protein to create a site where pegylation preferentially occurs. In some embodiments, the protein is modified to introduce a cysteine residue at a desired position, permitting site directed pegylation on the cysteine. PEG may vary widely in molecular weight and may be branched or linear. In one embodiment the PEG has two branches. In another embodiment the PEG has four branches.

In some embodiments, the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin is fused to an immunoglobulin Fc domain, or a fragment or variant thereof. In an exemplary embodiment, the Fc domain is derived from an IgG1 subclass, however, other subclasses (e.g., IgG2, IgG3, and IgG4) may also be used. Shown below is the sequence of a human IgG1 immunoglobulin Fc domain, and the relative position of each region within the Fc domain are indicated based on the EU numbering format:

It should be understood that the C-terminal lysine is optional.

The fusion may be formed by attaching an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin to either end of the Fc molecule, i.e., Fc-anti-PCSK9 Adnectin or anti-PCSK9 Adnectin-Fc arrangements. In certain embodiments, the Fc and anti-PCSK9 Adnectin are fused via a linker. Exemplary linker sequences include AGGGGSG (SEQ ID NO: 310), GSGSGSGSGSGS (SEQ ID NO: 311), QPDEPGGS (SEQ ID NO: 312), ELQLEESAAEAQDGELD (SEQ ID NO: 313), TVAAPS (SEQ ID NO: 314), KAGGGGSG (SEQ ID NO: 620), KGSGSGSGSGSGS (SEQ ID NO: 621), KQPDEPGGS (SEQ ID NO: 622), KELQLEESAAEAQDGELD (SEQ ID NO: 623), KTVAAPS (SEQ ID NO: 624), KAGGGGSGG (SEQ ID NO: 625), KGSGSGSGSGSGSG (SEQ ID NO: 626), KQPDEPGGSG (SEQ ID NO: 627), KELQLEESAAEAQDGELDG (SEQ ID NO: 628), KTVAAPSG (SEQ ID NO: 629) AGGGGSGG (SEQ ID NO: 630), GSGSGSGSGSGSG (SEQ ID NO: 631), QPDEPGGSG (SEQ ID NO: 632), ELQLEESAAEAQDGELDG (SEQ ID NO: 633), and TVAAPSG (SEQ ID NO: 634).

In some embodiments, the Fc region used in the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin fusion comprises the hinge region of an Fc molecule. As used herein, the “hinge” region comprises the core hinge residues spanning positions 104-119 of SEQ ID NO: 315 (DKTHTCPPCPAPELLG; SEQ ID NO: 316) of IgG1, which corresponds to positions 221-236 according to EU numbering. In certain embodiments, the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin-Fc fusion adopts a multimeric structure (e.g., dimer) owing, in part, to the cysteine residues at positions 109 and 112 of SEQ ID NO: 315 (EU numbering 226 and 229, respectively) within the hinge region. In other embodiments, the hinge region as used herein, may further include residues derived from the CH1 and CH2 regions that flank the core hinge sequence, as shown in SEQ ID NO: 315.

In some embodiments, the hinge sequence, may include substitutions that confer desirable pharmacokinetic, biophysical, and/or biological properties. Some exemplary hinge sequences include EPKSSDKTHTCPPCPAPELLGGPS (SEQ ID NO: 317; core hinge region underlined), EPKSSDKTHTCPPCPAPELLGGSS (SEQ ID NO: 318; core hinge region underlined), EPKSSGSTHTCPPCPAPELLGGSS (SEQ ID NO: 319; core hinge region underlined), DKTHTCPPCPAPELLGGPS (SEQ ID NO: 320; core hinge region underlined), and DKTHTCPPCPAPELLGGSS (SEQ ID NO: 321, core hinge region underlined). In one embodiment, the residue P at position 122 (EU numbering 238) of SEQ ID NO: 315 has been replaced with S to ablate Fc effector function; this replacement is exemplified in hinges having any one of SEQ ID NOs: 318, 319, and 321. In another embodiment, the residues DK at positions 104-105 of SEQ ID NO: 315 (EU numbering 221-222) have been replaced with GS to remove a potential clip site; this replacement is exemplified in SEQ ID NO: 319. In another embodiment, the C at position 103 of SEQ ID NO: 315 (EU numbering 220) has been replaced with S to prevent improper cystine bond formation in the absence of a light chain; this replacement is exemplified in SEQ ID NOs: 317-319.

In certain embodiments, an antiPCSK9 Adnectin-Fc fusion may have the following configurations: 1) anti-PCSK9 Adnectin-hinge-Fc or 2) hinge-Fc-anti-PCSK9 Adnectin. Therefore, any anti-PCSK9 Adnectin of the present invention can be fused to an Fc region comprising a hinge sequence according to these configurations. In some embodiments, a linker may be used to join the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin to the hinge-Fc moiety, for example, an exemplary fusion protein may have the configuration hinge-anti-PCSK9 Adnectin-linker-Fc. Additionally, depending on the system in which the fusion polypeptide is produced, a leader sequence may placed at the N-terminus of the fusion polypeptide. For example, if the fusion is produced in a mammalian system, a leader sequence such as METDTLLLWVLLLWVPGSTG (SEQ ID NO: 326) may be added to the N-terminus of the fusion molecule. If the fusion is produced in E. coli, the fusion sequence will be preceded by a methionine.

The following sequence exemplifies an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin-hinge-Fc construct produced in a mammalian system: METDTLLLWVLLLWVPGSTGGVSDVPRDLEVVAATPTSLLISWVPPSDDYGYYRIT YGETGGNSPVQEFTVPIGKGTATISGLKPGVDYTITVYAVEFPWPHAGYYHRPISINYRT EIEPKSSGSTHTCPPCPAPELLGGSSVFLFPPKPKDTLMISRTPEVTCVVVDVSHED PEVKFNWYVDGVEVHNAKTKPREEQYNSTYRVVSVLTVLHQDWLNGKEYKCK VSNKALPAPIEKTISKAKGQPREPQVYTLPPSRDELTKNQVSLTCLVKGFYPSDIA VEWESNGQPENNYKTTPPVLDSDGSFFLYSKLTVDKSRWQQGNVFSCSVMHEAL HNHYTQKSLSLSPGK (SEQ ID NO: 322).

In SEQ ID NO: 322, the leader sequence is in bold, the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin sequence is in italics, and the hinge region is underlined. It should be understood that the lysine at the end of SEQ ID NO: 322 is optional. The efficacy of the polypeptide fusion as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 322 (also described herein as PRD460) is demonstrated in Example 4.

In some embodiments, the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin comprises an Fn3 domain and a PK moiety. In some embodiments, the Fn3 domain is a ¹⁰Fn3 domain. In some embodiments, the PK moiety increases the serum half-life of the polypeptide by more than 5, 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 120, 150, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000% or more relative to the Fn3 domain alone.

In some embodiments, the PK moiety is a polymeric sugar. In some embodiments, the PK moiety is a polyethylene glycol moiety. In some embodiments the PK moiety is a serum albumin binding protein. In some embodiments the PK moiety is human serum albumin. In some embodiments the PK moiety is a serum immunoglobulin binding protein. In some embodiments, the PK moiety is transferrin.

In some embodiments the PK moiety is another Adnectin specific for a serum protein, e.g., HSA. The present application provides specific serum albumin binding Adnectin molecules (or SABA), as described herein. In certain embodiments, a PCSK9 Adnectin fused to a SABA can be defined generally as follows: X₁-PCSK9 Adnectin core-X₂-X₃-X₄-SABA core-X₅ (SEQ ID NO: 618), or X₁-SABA core-X₂-X₃-X₄-PCSK9 Adnectin core-X₅ (SEQ ID NO: 619), wherein X₁ and X₄ represent optional N-terminal extension sequences, X₂ and X₅ represent optional C-terminal extension sequences, and X₃ is a linker. In one embodiment, the Adnectins (either PCSK9 or serum albumin binding) of SEQ ID NOs: 618 and 619 comprise the “core” region of Adnectin, i.e., a PCSK9 Adnectin core sequence may be any one of the PCSK9 Adnectin sequences shown in Table 4, wherein the sequence begins at the amino acid residue corresponding to E8 of SEQ ID NO:1 and ends at the amino acid corresponding to residue T94 of SEQ ID NO:1; and a SABA core sequence may be selected from any of the SABA core sequences shown in Table 6.

In some embodiments, X₁ and X₄ are independently optional, and when present are independently selected from SEQ ID NOs: 371-379 listed in Table 6, and may optionally comprise an M, G or MG sequence at the N-terminus when such residues are not already present. For expression in a mammalian system, the fusion proteins may further comprise a leader sequence at the N-terminus, such as METDTLLLWVLLLWVPGSTG (SEQ ID NO: 326). In some embodiments, X₂ and X₅ are independently optional, and when present are independently selected from SEQ ID NOs: 380-395 listed in Table 6. In certain embodiments, X₃ is a linker sequence selected from SEQ ID NOs: 396-419 listed in Table 6. The sequences shown in Table 2 represent exemplary fusions of anti-PCSK9 Adnectin and SABA. It should be understood that any PCSK9 Adnectin and SABA sequence described in the present application may be incorporated into these configurations.

Biophysical and Biochemical Characterization

The application provides Adnectin comprising a Fn3 domain that binds to PCSK9. Polypeptide binding to a target molecule may be assessed in terms of equilibrium constants (e.g., dissociation, K_(D)) and in terms of kinetic constants (e.g., on-rate constant, K_(on) and off-rate constant, k_(off)). An Adnectin will generally bind to a target molecule with a K_(D) of less than 500 nM, 100 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, 500 pM, 200 pM, 100 pM, although higher K_(D) values may be tolerated where the K_(off) is sufficiently low or the K_(on), is sufficiently high.

Nucleic Acid-Protein Fusion Technology

In one aspect, the application provides an Adnectin comprising fibronectin type III domains that binds PCSK9. One way to rapidly make and test Fn3 domains with specific binding properties is the nucleic acid-protein fusion technology of Adnexus, a Bristol-Myers Squibb R&D Company. This disclosure utilizes the in vitro expression and tagging technology, termed PROfusion' which exploits nucleic acid-protein fusions (RNA- and DNA-protein fusions) to identify novel polypeptides and amino acid motifs that are important for binding to proteins. Nucleic acid-protein fusion technology is a technology that covalently couples a protein to its encoding genetic information. For a detailed description of the RNA-protein fusion technology and fibronectin-based scaffold protein library screening methods see Szostak et al., U.S. Pat. Nos. 6,258,558, 6,261,804, 6,214,553, 6,281,344, 6,207,446, 6,518,018 and 6,818,418; and Roberts et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci., 94:12297-12302 (1997), herein incorporated by reference.

Vectors and Polynucleotide Embodiments

Nucleic acids encoding any of the various proteins or polypeptides disclosed herein may be synthesized chemically. Codon usage may be selected so as to improve expression in a cell. Such codon usage will depend on the cell type selected. Specialized codon usage patterns have been developed for E. coli and other bacteria, as well as mammalian ceils, plant cells, yeast cells and insect cells. See for example: Mayfield et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 100(2):438-442 (Jan. 21, 2003); Sinclair et al., Protein Expr. Purif., 26(I):96-105 (October 2002); Connell, N.D., Curr. Opin. Biotechnol., 12(5):446-449 (October 2001); Makrides et al., Microbiol. Rev., 60(3):512-538 (September 1996); and Sharp et al., Yeast, 7(7):657-678 (October 1991).

General techniques for nucleic acid manipulation are described for example in Sambrook et al., Molecular Cloning: A Laboratory Manual, 2nd Edition, Vols. 1-3, Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press (1989), or Ausubel, F. et al., Current Protocols in Molecular Biology, Green Publishing and Wiley-Interscience, New York (1987) and periodic updates, herein incorporated by reference. Generally, the DNA encoding the polypeptide is operably linked to suitable transcriptional or translational regulatory elements derived from mammalian, viral, or insect genes. Such regulatory elements include a transcriptional promoter, an optional operator sequence to control transcription, a sequence encoding suitable mRNA ribosomal binding sites, and sequences that control the termination of transcription and translation. The ability to replicate in a host, usually conferred by an origin of replication, and a selection gene to facilitate recognition of transformants is additionally incorporated.

The proteins described herein may be produced recombinantly not only directly, but also as a fusion polypeptide with a heterologous polypeptide, which is preferably a signal sequence or other polypeptide having a specific cleavage site at the N-terminus of the mature protein or polypeptide. The heterologous signal sequence selected preferably is one that is recognized and processed (i.e., cleaved by a signal peptidase) by the host cell. An exemplary N-terminal leader sequence for production of polypeptides in a mammalian system is METDTLLLWVLLLWVPGSTG (SEQ ID NO: 326), which is removed by the host cell following expression.

For prokaryotic host cells that do not recognize and process a native signal sequence, the signal sequence is substituted by a prokaryotic signal sequence selected, for example, from the group of the alkaline phosphatase, penicillinase, 1 pp, or heat-stable enterotoxin II leaders.

For yeast secretion the native signal sequence may be substituted by, e.g., the yeast invertase leader, a factor leader (including Saccharomyces and Kluyveromyces alpha-factor leaders), or acid phosphatase leader, the C. albicans glucoamylase leader, or the signal described in U.S. Pat. No. 5,631,144. In mammalian cell expression, mammalian signal sequences as well as viral secretory leaders, for example, the herpes simplex gD signal, are available. The DNA for such precursor regions may be ligated in reading frame to DNA encoding the protein.

Both expression and cloning vectors contain a nucleic acid sequence that enables the vector to replicate in one or more selected host cells. Generally, in cloning vectors this sequence is one that enables the vector to replicate independently of the host chromosomal DNA, and includes origins of replication or autonomously replicating sequences. Such sequences are well known for a variety of bacteria, yeast, and viruses. The origin of replication from the plasmid pBR322 is suitable for most Gram-negative bacteria, the 2 micron plasmid origin is suitable for yeast, and various viral origins (SV40, polyoma, adenovirus, VSV or BPV) are useful for cloning vectors in mammalian cells. Generally, the origin of replication component is not needed for mammalian expression vectors (the SV40 origin may typically be used only because it contains the early promoter).

Expression and cloning vectors may contain a selection gene, also termed a selectable marker. Typical selection genes encode proteins that (a) confer resistance to antibiotics or other toxins, e.g., ampicillin, neomycin, methotrexate, or tracycline, (b) complement auxotrophic deficiencies, or (c) supply critical nutrients not available from complex media, e.g., the gene encoding D-alanine racemase for Bacilli.

Expression and cloning vectors usually contain a promoter that is recognized by the host organism and is operably linked to the nucleic acid encoding the protein of the invention, e.g., a fibronectin-based scaffold protein. Promoters suitable for use with prokaryotic hosts include the phoA promoter, beta-lactamase and lactose promoter systems, alkaline phosphatase, a tryptophan (trp) promoter system, and hybrid promoters such as the tan promoter. However, other known bacterial promoters are suitable. Promoters for use in bacterial systems also will contain a Shine-Dalgarno (S.D.) sequence operably linked to the DNA encoding the protein of the invention. Promoter sequences are known for eukaryotes. Virtually all eukaryotic genes have an AT-rich region located approximately 25 to 30 bases upstream from the site where transcription is initiated. Another sequence found 70 to 80 bases upstream from the start of transcription of many genes is a CNCAAT region where N may be any nucleotide. At the 3′ end of most eukaryotic genes is an AATAAA sequence that may be the signal for addition of the poly A tall to the 3′ end of the coding sequence. All of these sequences are suitably inserted into eukaryotic expression vectors.

Examples of suitable promoting sequences for use with yeast hosts include the promoters for 3-phosphoglycerate kinase or other glycolytic enzymes, such as enolase, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase, pyruvate decarboxylase, phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphate isomerase, 3-phosphoglycerate mutase, pyruvate kinase, triosephosphate isomerase, phosphoglucose isomerase, and glucokinase.

Transcription from vectors in mammalian host cells can be controlled, for example, by promoters obtained from the genomes of viruses such as polyoma virus, fowlpox virus, adenovirus (such as Adenovirus 2), bovine papilloma virus, avian sarcoma virus, cytomegalovirus, a retrovirus, hepatitis-B virus and most preferably Simian Virus 40 (SV40), from heterologous mammalian promoters, e.g., the actin promoter or an immunoglobulin promoter, from heat-shock promoters, provided such promoters are compatible with the host cell systems.

Transcription of a DNA encoding proteins of the invention by higher eukaryotes is often increased by inserting an enhancer sequence into the vector. Many enhancer sequences are now known from mammalian genes (globin, elastase, albumin, α-fetoprotein, and insulin). Typically, however, one will use an enhancer from a eukaryotic cell virus. Examples include the SV40 enhancer on the late side of the replication origin (bp 100-270), the cytomegalovirus early promoter enhancer, the polyoma enhancer on the late side of the replication origin, and adenovirus enhancers. See also Yaniv, Nature, 297:17-18 (1982) on enhancing elements for activation of eukaryotic promoters. The enhancer may be spliced into the vector at a position 5′ or 3′ to the peptide-encoding sequence, but is preferably located at a site 5′ from the promoter.

Expression vectors used in eukaryotic host cells (e.g., yeast, fungi, insect, plant, animal, human, or nucleated cells from other multicellular organisms) will also contain sequences necessary for the termination of transcription and for stabilizing the mRNA. Such sequences are commonly available from the 5′ and, occasionally 3′, untranslated regions of eukaryotic or viral DNAs or cDNAs. These regions contain nucleotide segments transcribed as polyadenylated fragments in the untranslated portion of mRNA encoding the protein of the invention. One useful transcription termination component is the bovine growth hormone polyadenylation region. See WO 94/11026 and the expression vector disclosed therein.

The recombinant DNA can also include any type of protein tag sequence that may be useful for purifying the protein. Examples of protein tags include but are not limited to a histidine tag, a FLAG tag, a myc tag, an HA tag, or a GST tag. Appropriate cloning and expression vectors for use with bacterial, fungal, yeast, and mammalian cellular hosts can be found in Cloning Vectors: A Laboratory Manual, (Elsevier, New York (1985)), the relevant disclosure of which is hereby incorporated by reference.

The expression construct is introduced into the host cell using a method appropriate to the host cell, as will be apparent to one of skill in the art. A variety of methods for introducing nucleic acids into host cells are known in the art, including, but not limited to, electroporation; transfection employing calcium chloride, rubidium chloride, calcium phosphate, DEAE-dextran, or other substances; microprojectile bombardment; lipofection; and infection (where the vector is an infectious agent).

Suitable host cells include prokaryotes, yeast, mammalian cells, or bacterial cells. Suitable bacteria include gram negative or gram positive organisms, for example, E. coli or Bacillus spp. Yeast, preferably from the Saccharomyces species, such as S. cerevisiae, may also be used for production of polypeptides. Various mammalian or insect cell culture systems can also be employed to express recombinant proteins. Baculovirus systems for production of heterologous proteins in insect cells are reviewed by Luckow et al. (Bio/Technology, 6:47 (1988)). Examples of suitable mammalian host cell lines include endothelial cells, COS-7 monkey kidney cells, CV-1, L cells, C127, 3T3, Chinese hamster ovary (CHO), human embryonic kidney ceils, HeLa, 293, 293T, and BHK cell lines. Purified polypeptides are prepared by culturing suitable host/vector systems to express the recombinant proteins. For many applications, the small size of many of the polypeptides disclosed herein would make expression in E. coli as the preferred method for expression. The protein is then purified from culture media or cell extracts.

Protein Production

Host cells are transformed with the herein-described expression or cloning vectors for protein production and cultured in conventional nutrient media modified as appropriate for inducing promoters, selecting transformants, or amplifying the genes encoding the desired sequences. In the examples shown here, the host cells used for high-throughput protein production (HTPP) and mid-scale production was the HMS174-bacterial strain. The host cells used to produce the proteins of this invention may be cultured in a variety of media. Commercially available media such as Ham's F10 (Sigma), Minimal Essential Medium ((MEM), (Sigma)), RPMI-1640 (Sigma), and Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium ((DMEM), Sigma)) are suitable for culturing the host cells. In addition, may of the media described in Ham et al., Meth. Enzymol., 58:44 (1979), Barites et al., Anal. Biochem., 102:255 (1980), U.S. Pat. Nos. 4,767,704, 4,657,866, 4,927,762, 4,560,655, 5,122,469, 6,048,728, 5,672,502, or U.S. Pat. No. RE 30,985 may be used as culture media for the host cells. Any of these media may be supplemented as necessary with hormones and/or other growth factors (such as insulin, transferrin, or epidermal growth factor), salts (such as sodium chloride, calcium, magnesium, and phosphate), buffers (such as HEPES), nucleotides (such as adenosine and thymidine), antibiotics (such as Gentamycin drug), trace elements (defined as inorganic compounds usually present at final concentrations in the micromolar range), and glucose or an equivalent energy source. Any other necessary supplements may also be included at appropriate concentrations that would be known to those skilled in the art. The culture conditions, such as temperature, pH, and the like, are those previously used with the host cell selected for expression, and will be apparent to the ordinarily skilled artisan.

Proteins disclosed herein can also be produced using cell-translation systems. For such purposes the nucleic acids encoding the polypeptide must be modified to allow in vitro transcription to produce mRNA and to allow cell-free translation of the mRNA in the particular cell-free system being utilized (eukaryotic such as a mammalian or yeast cell-free translation system or prokaryotic such as a bacterial ceil-free translation system.

Proteins of the invention can also be produced by chemical synthesis (e.g., by the methods described in Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis, 2nd Edition, The Pierce Chemical Co., Rockford, Ill. (1984)). Modifications to the protein can also be produced by chemical synthesis.

The proteins of the present invention can be purified by isolation/purification methods for proteins generally known in the field of protein chemistry. Non-limiting examples include extraction, recrystallization, salting out (e.g., with ammonium sulfate or sodium sulfate), centrifugation, dialysis, ultrafiltration, adsorption chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, hydrophobic chromatography, normal phase chromatography, reversed-phase chromatography, get filtration, gel permeation chromatography, affinity chromatography, electrophoresis, countercurrant distribution or any combinations of these. After purification, polypeptides may be exchanged into different buffers and/or concentrated by any of a variety of methods known to the art, including, but not limited to, filtration and dialysis.

The purified polypeptide is preferably at least 85% pure, or preferably at least 95% pure, and most preferably at least 98% pure. Regardless of the exact numerical value of the purity, the polypeptide is sufficiently pure for use as a pharmaceutical product.

A platform manufacturing process was used to prepare anti-PCSK9 Adnectin. The anti-PCSK9 Adnectin is produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli). E. coli BLR (DE3) cells were transformed with expression vector (pET9d/ATI001173) which produces the protein in a soluble form intracellularly. The recombinant strain is grown in stirred tank fermentors. At the end of fermentation the cells are collected, lysed, and clarified in preparation for purification. AT1001173 is a non-his tagged version of ATI001114. The purified anti-PCSK9 Adnectin is conjugated to a 40 kDa branched methoxyPEG using a maleimide linker. The conjugated material is subsequently repurified to remove free PEG, free anti-PCSK9 Adnectin and product related impurities. Quality control testing is performed on the bulk drug substance.

Therapeutic In Vivo Uses

In one aspect, the application provides anti-PCSK9 Adnectin useful in the treatment of atherosclerosis, hypercholesterolemia and other cholesterol related diseases. The application also provides methods for administering anti-PCSK9 Adnectin to a subject. In some embodiments, the subject is a human. In some embodiments, the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin are pharmaceutically acceptable to a mammal, in particular a human. A “pharmaceutically acceptable” polypeptide refers to a polypeptide that is administered to an animal without significant adverse medical consequences, such as essentially endotoxin free, or very low endotoxin levels.

Formulation and Administration

The application further provides pharmaceutically acceptable compositions comprising the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin or fusion proteins thereof described herein, wherein the composition is essentially endotoxin free. Therapeutic formulations comprising anti-PCSK9 Adnectin or fusions thereof are prepared for storage by mixing the described polypeptide having the desired degree of purity with optional physiologically acceptable carriers, excipients or stabilizers (Osol, A., Remington's Pharmaceutical Sciences, 16th Edition (1980)), in the form of aqueous solutions, lyophilized or other dried formulations. Acceptable carriers, excipients, or stabilizers are nontoxic to recipients at the dosages and concentrations employed, and include buffers such as phosphate, citrate, and other organic acids; antioxidants including ascorbic acid and methionine; preservatives (such as octadecyldimethylbenzyl ammonium chloride; hexamethonium chloride; benzalkonium chloride, benzethonium chloride; phenol, butyl or benzyl alcohol; alkyl parabens such as methyl or propyl paraben; catechol; resorcinol; cyclohexanol; 3-pentanol; and m-cresol); low molecular weight (less than about 10 residues) polypeptides; proteins, such as serum albumin, gelatin, or immunoglobulins; hydrophilic polymers such as polyvinylpyrrolidone; amino acids such as glycine, glutamine, asparagine, histidine, arginine, or lysine; monosaccharides, disaccharides, and other carbohydrates including glucose, mannose, or dextrans; chelating agents such as EDTA; sugars such as sucrose, mannitol, trehalose or sorbitol; salt-forming counter-ions such as sodium; metal complexes (e.g., Zn-protein complexes); and/or non-ionic surfactants such as Tween, PLURONIC® or polyethylene glycol (PEG).

The formulations herein may also contain more than one active compound as necessary for the particular indication being treated, preferably those with complementary activities that do not adversely affect each other. Such molecules are suitably present in combination in amounts that are effective for the purpose intended.

The formulations to be used for in vivo administration must be sterile. This is readily accomplished by filtration through sterile filtration membranes.

The skilled artisan will understand that the dosage of each therapeutic agent will be dependent on the identity of the agent.

For therapeutic applications, the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin or a fusion protein comprising an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin is administered to a subject, in a pharmaceutically acceptable dosage form. They can be administered intravenously as a bolus or by continuous infusion over a period of time, or by subcutaneous routes. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, and excipients are well known and can be determined by those of skill in the art as the clinical situation warrants. Examples of suitable carriers, diluents and/or excipients include: (1) Dulbecco's phosphate buffered saline, (2) 0.9% saline (0.9% w/v NaCl), and (3) 5% (w/v) dextrose.

The method of the present invention can be practiced in vitro, in vivo, or ex vivo.

Administration of anti-PCSK9 Adnectin or a fusion thereof, and one or more additional therapeutic agents, whether co-administered or administered sequentially, may occur as described above for therapeutic applications. Suitable pharmaceutically acceptable carriers, diluents, and excipients for co-administration will be understood by the skilled artisan to depend on the identity of the particular therapeutic agent being administered.

When present in an aqueous dosage form, rather than being lyophilized, the protein typically will be formulated at a concentration of about 0.1 mg/ml to 100 mg/ml, although wide variation outside of these ranges is permitted. For the treatment of disease, the appropriate dosage of anti-PCSK9 Adnectin or a fusion thereof will depend on the type of disease to be treated, the severity and course of the disease, whether the protein is administered for preventive or therapeutic purposes, the course of previous therapy, the patient's clinical history and response to the protein, and the discretion of the attending physician. The protein is suitably administered to the patient at one time or over a series of treatments.

Fusions of Serum Albumin Binding Adnectin (SABA)

In certain aspects, the application provides fusion proteins comprising anti-PCSK9 Adnectin fused to a ¹⁰Fn3 domains that binds to human serum albumin (a Serum Albumin Binding Adnectin (¹⁰Fn3 domain) or SABA). Such fusion proteins have extended serum half lives in the presence of albumin relative to the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin alone (e.g., not conjugated to a PK moiety).

¹⁰Fn3 domains are cleared rapidly from circulation via renal filtration and degradation due to their small size of ˜10 kDa (t_(1/2)=15-45 minutes in mice; 1-3 hours in monkeys). Fusion of a ¹⁰Fn3 domain, such as an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin, to a second polypeptide comprising a ¹⁰Fn3 domain that binds specifically to serum albumin, e.g., human serum albumin (HSA), may be used to prolong the t_(1/2) of the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin.

In certain embodiments, the serum half-life of the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin fused to the SABA is increased relative to the serum half-life of the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin when not conjugated to the SABA. In certain embodiments, the serum half-life of the SABA fusion is at least 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 150, 180, 200, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200, 1500, 1800, 1900, 2000, 2500, or 3000% longer relative to the serum half-life of the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin when not fused to the SABA. In other embodiments, the serum half-life of the SABA fusion is at least 1.5-fold, 2-fold, 2.5-fold, 3-fold, 3.5 fold, 4-fold, 4.5-fold, 5-fold, 6-fold, 7-fold, 8-fold, 10-fold, 12-fold, 13-fold, 15-fold, 17-fold, 20-fold, 22-fold, 25-fold, 27-fold, 30-fold, 35-fold, 40-fold, or 50-fold greater than the serum half-life of the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin when not fused to the SABA. In some embodiments, the serum half-life of the SABA fusion is at least 10 hours, 15 hours, 20 hours, 25 hours, 30 hours, 35 hours, 40 hours, 50 hours, 60 hours, 70 hours, 80 hours, 90 hours, 100 hours, 110 hours, 120 hours, 130 hours, 135 hours, 140 hours, 150 hours, 160 hours, or 200 hours.

In certain embodiments, the serum albumin binding portion of the SABA fusion protein binds to HSA with a K_(D) of less than 3 uM, 2.5 uM, 2 uM, 1.5 uM, 1 uM, 500 nM, 100 nM, 50 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, 500 pM, 100 pM. 100 pM, 50 pM or 10 pM. In certain embodiments, the serum albumin binding portion of the SABA fusion proteins bind to HSA with a K_(D) of less than 3 uM, 2.5 uM, 2 uM, 1.5 uM, 1 uM, 500 nM, 100 nM, 50 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, 500 pM, 100 pM. 100 pM, 50 pM or 10 pM at a pH range of 5.5 to 7.4 at 25° C. or 37° C. In some embodiments, the serum albumin binding portion of the SABA fusion proteins bind more tightly to HSA at a pH less than 7.4 as compared to binding at pH 7.4.

Accordingly, the SABA fusion molecules described herein are useful for increasing the half-life of anti-PCSK9 Adnectin by creating a fusion between anti-PCSK9 Adnectin and the SABA. Such fusion molecules may be used to treat conditions which respond to the biological activity of PCSK9. The present invention contemplates the use of the SABA fusion molecules in diseases caused by the dysregulation of PCSK9.

The fusion may be formed by attaching anti-PCSK9 Adnectin to either end of the SABA molecule, i.e., SABA-anti-PCSK9 Adnectin or anti-PCSK9 Adnectin-SABA arrangements.

HSA has a serum concentration of 600 μM and a t_(1/2) of 19 days in humans. The extended t_(1/2) of HSA has been attributed, in part, to its recycling via the neonatal Fc receptor (FcRn). HSA binds FcRn in a pH-dependent manner after endosomal uptake into endothelial cells; this interaction recycles HSA back into the bloodstream, thereby shunting it away from lysosomal degradation. FcRn is widely expressed and the recycling pathway is thought to be constitutive. In the majority of cell types, most FcRn resides in the intracellular sorting endosome. HSA is readily internalized by a nonspecific mechanism of fluid-phase pinocytosis and rescued from degradation in the lysosome by FcRn. At the acidic pH found in the endosome, HSA's affinity for FcRn increases (5 μM at pH 6.0). Once bound to FcRn, HSA is shunted away from the lysosomal degradation pathway, transcytosed to and released at the cell surface.

In certain embodiments, the serum albumin binding portion of the SABA fusion proteins described herein may also bind serum albumin from one or more of monkey, rat, or mouse. In certain embodiments, the HSA binding portion of the SABA fusion proteins described herein bind to rhesus serum albumin (RhSA) or cynomolgous monkey serum albumin (CySA) with a K_(D) of less than 3 uM, 2.5 uM, 2 uM, 1.5 uM, 1 uM, 500 nM, 100 nM, 50 nM, 10 nM, 1 nM, 500 pM or 100 pM.

In certain embodiments, the serum albumin binding portion of the SABA fusion proteins described herein bind to domain I and/or domain II of HSA. In one embodiment, the HSA binding portion of the SABA fusion proteins described herein do not bind to domain III of HSA.

In certain embodiments, the serum albumin binding portion of the SABA fusion proteins comprises a sequence having at least 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80% or 85% identity to the wild-type ¹⁰Fn3 domain (SEQ ID NO: 1). In one embodiment, at least one of the BC, DE, or FG loops is modified relative to the wild-type ¹⁰Fn3 domain. In another embodiment, at least two of the BC, DE, or FG loops are modified relative to the wild-type ¹⁰Fn3 domain. In another embodiment, all three of the BC, DE, and FG loops are modified relative to the wild-type ¹⁰Fn3 domain. In other embodiments, a SABA comprises a sequence having at least 40%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, or 95% identity to any one of the 26 core SABA sequences shown in Table 6 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 334, 338, 342, 346, and 348-370) or any one of the extended SABA sequences shown in Table 6 (i.e., SEQ ID NO: 420-447, minus the 6×HIS tag).

In certain embodiments, the serum binding Adnectins based on the ¹⁰Fn3 scaffold can be defined generally by the following sequence:

(SEQ ID NO: 328) EVVAAT(X)_(a)SLLI(X)_(x)YYRITYGE(X)_(b)QEFTV(X)_(y)ATI(X)_(c)DYTI TVYAV(X)_(z)ISINYRT

In certain embodiments, the serum binding Adnectins based on the ¹⁰Fn3 scaffold can be defined generally by the sequence:

(SEQ ID NO: 329) EVVAATPTSLLI(X)_(x)YYRITYGETGGNSPVQEFTV(X)_(y)ATISGLKPGV DYTITVYAV(X)_(z)ISINYRT

As described herein for anti-PCSK9 Adnectins, SEQ ID NOs: 328 and 329 can be defined and applied to SABA molecules in the same way. In exemplary embodiments, the BC, DE, and FG loops as represented by (X)_(x), (X)_(y), and (X)_(z), respectively, are replaced with polypeptides comprising the BC, DE and FG loop sequences from any of the HSA binders shown in Table 6 below (i.e., SEQ ID NOs: 330, 334, 338, 342, 346, and 348-370 in Table 6). In certain embodiments, the BC, DE, or FG loop sequences shown in Table 6 may contain one or more additional residues flanking the N- and/or C-termini. In particular, the BC loop may contain an SW at the N-terminus of the BC loop sequences shown in Table 6 when replacing (X)_(x) in SEQ ID NO: 328. Similarly, the DE loop may contain a P preceding loop DE and the residue T following loop DE when replacing (X)_(y) in SEQ ID NO: 328. The FG loop may contain a P following the FG loop when replacing (X)_(z) in SEQ ID NO: 328. For example, SEQ ID NO: 330 indicates that the BC, DE, and FG loops comprise HSYYEQNS (SEQ ID NO: 638), YSQT (SEQ ID NO: 639), and YGSKYYY (SEQ ID NO: 640), respectively. However, when replacing (X)_(x), (X)_(y), and (X)_(z) in SEQ ID NO: 328, i.e., the BC, DE and FG loops, the (X)_(x) sequence may be SWHSYYEQNS (SEQ ID NO: 641), the (X)_(y) sequence may be PYSQTT (SEQ ID NO: 642), and the (X)_(z) sequence may be YGSKYYYP (SEQ ID NO: 643).

In certain embodiments, a SABA for use in a fusion as described herein may comprise the sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 328 or 329, wherein the BC, DE, and FG loops as represented by (X)_(x), (X)_(y), and (X)_(z), respectively, are replaced with a respective set of specified BC, DE, and FG loops from any of the 26 core SABA sequences (i.e., SEQ ID NOs: 330, 334, 338, 342, 346, and 348-370 in Table 6), or sequences at least 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, 97%, 98%, or 99% identical to the BC, DE and FG loop sequences of the 26 core SABA sequences. In exemplary embodiments, a SABA as described herein is defined by SEQ ID NO: 329 and has a set of BC, DE and FG loop sequences from any of the 26 core SABA sequences (i.e., SEQ ID NOs: 330, 334, 338, 342, 346, and 348-370 in Table 6), optionally with the N- and/or C-terminal additions to the loop sequences as described above. For example, SABA1 has the core sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 330 and comprises BC, DE, and FG loops as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 331-333, respectively. Therefore, a SABA based on the SABA1 core may comprise SEQ ID NO: 328 or 329, wherein (X)_(x) comprises SEQ ID NO: 331, (X)_(y) comprises SEQ ID NO: 332, and (X)_(z) comprises SEQ ID NO: 333. In some embodiments, the sequences that replace (X)_(x), (X)_(y), and (X)_(z) comprise additional residue(s) on either or both ends of the loops as described above. Similar constructs are contemplated utilizing the set of BC, DE and FG loops from the other SABA core sequences. The scaffold regions of such SABA may comprise anywhere from 0 to 20, from 0 to 15, from 0 to 10, from 0 to 8, from 0 to 6, from 0 to 5, from 0 to 4, from 0 to 3, from 0 to 2, or from 0 to 1 substitutions, conservative substitutions, deletions or additions relative to the scaffold amino acids residues of SEQ ID NO: 1. Such scaffold modifications may be made, so long as the SABA is capable of binding serum albumin, e.g., HSA, with a desired K_(D).

In certain embodiments, a SABA (e.g., a SABA core sequence or a sequence based thereon as described above) may be modified to comprise an N-terminal extension sequence and/or a C-terminal extension sequence. Exemplary extension sequences are shown in Table 6. For example, SEQ ID NO: 420 designated as SABA1.1 comprises the core SABA 1 sequence (SEQ ID NO: 330) with an N-terminal sequence MGVSDVPRDLE (SEQ ID NO: 371, designated as AdNT1), and a C-terminal sequence EIDKPSQ (SEQ ID NO: 380, designated as AdCT1). SABA1.1 further comprises a His6 tag at the C-terminus, however, it should be understood that the His6 tag is completely optional and may be placed anywhere within the N- or C-terminal extension sequences, or may be absent from the sequence all together. Further, any of the exemplary N- or C-terminal extension sequences provided in Table 6 (SEQ ID NO: 371-395), and any variants thereof, can be used to modify any given SABA core sequence provided in Table 6.

In certain embodiments, the C-terminal extension sequences (also called “tails”), comprise E and D residues, and may be between 8 and 50, 10 and 30, 10 and 20, 5 and 10, and 2 and 4 amino acids in length. In some embodiments, tail sequences include ED-based linkers in which the sequence comprises tandem repeats of ED. In exemplary embodiments, the tail sequence comprises 2-10, 2-7, 2-5, 3-10, 3-7, 3-5, 3, 4 or 5 ED repeats. In certain embodiments, the ED-based tail sequences may also include additional amino acid residues, such as, for example: EI, EID, ES, EC, EGS, and EGC. Such sequences are based, in part, on known Adnectin tail sequences, such as EIDKPSQ (SEQ ID NO: 380), in which residues D and K have been removed. In exemplary embodiments, the ED-based tail comprises an E, I or EI residues before the ED repeats.

In other embodiments, the tail sequences may be combined with other known linker sequences (e.g., SEQ ID NO: 396-419 in Table 6) as necessary when designing a SABA fusion molecule.

Conjugation/Linkers

SABA fusions may be covalently or non-covalently linked. In some embodiments, a serum albumin binding ¹⁰Fn3 may be directly or indirectly linked to an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin via a polypeptide linker. Suitable linkers for joining Fn3 domains are those which allow the separate domains to fold independently of each other forming a three dimensional structure that permits high affinity binding to a target molecule.

The disclosure provides a number of suitable linkers that meet these requirements, including glycine-serine based linkers, glycine-proline based linkers, as well as the linker having the amino acid sequence PSTSTST (SEQ ID NO: 416). The Examples described herein demonstrate that Fn3 domains joined via polypeptide linkers retain their target binding function. In some embodiments, the linker is a glycine-serine based linker. These linkers comprise glycine and serine residues and may be between 8 and 50, 10 and 30, and 10 and 20 amino acids in length. Examples include linkers having an amino acid sequence (GS)₇ (SEQ ID NO: 403), G(GS)₆ (SEQ ID NO: 398), and G(GS)₇G (SEQ ID NO: 400). Other linkers contain glutamic acid, and include, for example, (GSE)₅ (SEQ ID NO: 405) and GGSE GGSE (SEQ ID NO: 409). Other exemplary glycine-serine linkers include (GS)₄ (SEQ ID NO: 402), (GGGGS)₇ (SEQ ID NO: 411), (GGGGS)₅ (SEQ ID NO: 412), and (GGGGS)₃G (SEQ ID NO: 413). In some embodiments, the linker is a glycine-proline based linker. These linkers comprise glycine and proline residues and may be between 3 and 30, 10 and 30, and 3 and 20 amino acids in length. Examples include linkers having an amino acid sequence (GP)₃G (SEQ ID NO: 414), (GP)₅G (SEQ ID NO: 415), and GPG. In other embodiments, the linker may be a proline-alanine based linker having between 3 and 30, 10 and 30, and 3 and 20 amino acids in length. Examples of proline alanine based linkers include, for example, (PA)₃ (SEQ ID NO: 417), (PA)₆ (SEQ ID NO: 418) and (PA)₉ (SEQ ID NO: 419). It is contemplated, that the optimal linker length and amino acid composition may be determined by routine experimentation in view of the teachings provided herein. In some embodiments, an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin is linked to a SABA via a polypeptide linker having a protease site that is cleavable by a protease in the blood or target tissue. Such embodiments can be used to release an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin for better delivery or therapeutic properties or more efficient production.

Additional linkers or spacers, may be introduced at the C-terminus of a Fn3 domain between the Fn3 domain and the polypeptide linker. Additional linkers or spacers may be introduced at the N-terminus of a Fn3 domain between the Fn3 domain and the polypeptide linker.

In some embodiments, an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin may be directly or indirectly linked to a SABA via a polymeric linker. Polymeric linkers can be used to optimally vary the distance between each component of the fusion to create a protein fusion with one or more of the following characteristics: 1) reduced or increased steric hindrance of binding of one or more protein domains when binding to a protein of interest, 2) increased protein stability or solubility, 3) decreased protein aggregation, and 4) increased overall avidity or affinity of the protein.

In some embodiments, an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin is linked to a SABA via a biocompatible polymer such as a polymeric sugar. The polymeric sugar can include an enzymatic cleavage site that is cleavable by an enzyme in the blood or target tissue. Such embodiments can be used to release an anti-PCSK9 Adnectin for better delivery or therapeutic properties or more efficient production.

EXAMPLES Example 1 Material and Methods Used Herein High Throughput Protein Production (HTPP)

Selected binders cloned into pET9d vector and transformed into E. coli HMS174 cells were inoculated in 5 ml LB medium containing 50 μg/mL kanamycin in a 24-well format and grown at 37° C. overnight. Fresh 5 ml LB medium (50 μg/mL kanamycin) cultures were prepared for inducible expression by aspiration 200 μl from the overnight culture and dispensing it into the appropriate well. The cultures were grown at 37° C. until A₆₀₀ 0.6-0.9. After induction with 1 mM isopropyl-β-thiogalactoside (IPTG) the culture was expressed for 6 hours at 30° C. and harvested by centrifugation for 10 minutes at 2750 g at 4° C.

Cell pellets (in 24-well format) were lysed by resuspension in 450 μl of Lysis buffer (50 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 1× Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail-EDTA free (Roche), 1 mM PMSF, 10 mM CHAPS, 40 mM Imidazole, 1 mg/ml lysozyme, 30 ug/ml DNAse, 2 μg/ml aprotonin, pH 8.0) and shaken at room temperature for 1-3 hours. Lysates were clarified and re-racked into a 96-well format by transfer into a 96-well Whatman GF/D UNIFILTER® fitted with a 96-well, 1.2 ml catch plate and filtered by positive pressure. The clarified lysates were transferred to a 96-well Ni-Chelating Plate that had been equilibrated with equilibration buffer (50 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 40 mM Imidazole, pH 8.0) and was incubated for 5 min. Unbound material was removed by vacuum. The resin was washed 2×0.3 ml/well with Wash buffer #1 (50 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 5 mM CHAPS, 40 mM Imidazole, pH 8.0) with each wash removed by vacuum. Prior to elution each well was washed with 50 μl Elution buffer (PBS+20 mM EDTA), incubated for 5 min and this wash was discarded by vacuum. Protein was eluted by applying an additional 100 μl of Elution buffer to each well. After a 30 minute incubation at room temperature the plate(s) were centrifuged for 5 minutes at 200 g and eluted protein is collected in 96-well catch plates containing 5 μl of 0.5M MgCl₂ added to the bottom of elution catch plate prior to elution. Eluted protein was quantified using a BCA assay with SGE as the protein standard.

For expression of insoluble clones, the clone(s), followed by the HIS₆tag, are cloned into a pET9d (EMD Bioscience, San Diego, Calif.) vector and are expressed in E. coli HMS174 cells. Twenty ml of an inoculum culture (generated from a single plated colony) is used to inoculate 1 liter of LB medium containing 50 μg/ml carbenicillin and 34 μg/mlchloromphenicol. The culture is grown at 37° C. until A₆₀₀ 0.6-1.0. After induction with 1 mM isopropyl-β-thiogalactoside (IPTG) the culture is grown for 4 hours at 30° C. and is harvested by centrifugation for 30 minutes at ≧10,000 g at 4° C. Cell pellets are frozen at −80° C. The cell pellet is resuspended in 25 ml of lysis buffer (20 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 1× Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail-EDTA free (Roche), 1 mM PMSF, pH 7.4) using an ULTRA-TURRAX® homogenizer (IKA works) on ice. Cell lysis is achieved by high pressure homongenization (18,000 psi) using a Model M-110S MICROFLUIDIZER® (Microfluidics). The insoluble fraction is separated by centrifugation for 30 minutes at 23,300 g at 4° C. The insoluble pellet recovered from centrifugation of the lysate is washed with 20 mM sodiumphosphate/500 mM NaCl, pH7.4. The pellet is resolubilized in 6.0M guanidine hydrochloride in 20 mM sodium phosphate/500M NaCl pH 7.4 with sonication followed by incubation at 37 degrees for 1-2 hours. The resolubilized pellet is filtered to 0.45 μm and loaded onto a Histrap column equilibrated with the 20 mM sodium phosphate/500M NaCl/6.0M guanidine pH 7.4 buffer. After loading, the column is washed for an additional 25 CV with the same buffer. Bound protein is eluted with 50 mM Imidazole in 20 mM sodium phosphate/500 mM NaCl/6.0M guan-HCl pH7.4.

For expression of soluble clones, the clone(s), followed by the HIS₆tag, were cloned into a pET9d (EMD Bioscience, San Diego, Calif.) vector and were expressed in E. coli HMS174 cells. Twenty ml of an inoculum culture (generated from a single plated colony) was used to inoculate 1 liter of LB medium containing 50 μg/ml carbenicillin and 34 μg/ml chloromphenicol. The culture was grown at 37° C. until A₆₀₀0.6-1.0. After induction with 1 mM isopropyl-β-thiogalactoside (IPTG), the culture was grown for 4 hours at 30° C. and was harvested by centrifugation for 30 minutes at ≧10,000 g at 4° C. Cell pellets were frozen at −80° C. The cell pellet was resuspended in 25 ml of lysis buffer (20 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 1× Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail-EDTA free (Roche), 1 mM PMSF, pH 7.4) using an ULTRA-TURRAX® homogenizer (IKA works) on ice. Cell lysis was achieved by high pressure homongenization (≧18,000 psi) using a Model M-110S MICROFLUIDIZER® (Microfluidics). The soluble fraction was separated by centrifugation for 30 minutes at 23,300 g at 4° C. The supernatant was clarified via 0.45 μm filter. The clarified lysate was loaded onto a Histrap column (GE) pre-equilibrated with the 20 mM sodium phosphate/500M NaCl pH 7.4. The column was then washed with 25 column volumes of the same buffer, followed by 20 column volumes of 20 mM sodium phosphate/500M NaCl/25 mM Imidazole, pH 7.4 and then 35 column volumes of 20 mM sodium phosphate/500M NaCl/40 mM Imidazole, pH 7.4. Protein was eluted with 15 column volumes of 20 mM sodium phosphate/500M NaCl/500 mM Imidazole, pH 7.4, fractions were pooled based on absorbance at A₂₈₀ and were dialyzed against 1×PBS, 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl. pH 8.5 or 50 mM NaOAc; 150 mM NaCl; pH4.5. Any precipitate was removed by filtering at 0.22 μm.

Example 2 In Vitro Nonclinical Pharmacology K_(D) by SPR

The binding characteristics were characterized by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). Human PCSK9 and Cynomolgus PCSK9 were immobilized on separate channels on one dimension of a ProteOn XPR (Bio-Rad) chip surfaces and exposed to 6 different concentrations of 2013E01 in the other dimension of the same SPR chip surface. This allowed kinetic determination in the absence of regeneration. Duplicate chips were used for kinetic determinations of the Human and Cynomolgus PCSK9 at 25° C. Evaluation of the kinetic parameters was performed using the Langmuir interaction model and constant parameter fitting with the ProteOn Manager software.

Under these conditions, anti-PCSK9 Adnectins bound to human PCSK9 with dissociation constants (K_(D)) ranging from 80 pM to 1.6 nM and to the cyno PCSK9 with dissociation constants (K_(D)) ranging from 8 nM to 24 nM (Table 7). Association rates were approximately 10⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹, coupled with dissociations that were typically 10⁻³-10⁻⁵ s⁻¹. For some Adnectins, the off-rates from human PCSK9 were slow (on the order of 10⁻⁵ s¹), which is close to the limit of detection for SPR technologies so it is possible that these dissociation constant measurements from human PCSK9 are under-estimates.

K_(D) by BLI

The binding characteristics of Adnectins and human PCSK9 were also determined by Bio-Layer Interferometry (BLI). Biotinylated human PCSK9 was immobilized onto superstreptavidin sensor tips which were subsequently immersed into wells containing diluted Adnectin for the duration of the association phase. Tips were then immersed into a buffer-only well for observation of Adnectin dissociation. Experiments were performed in a temperature controlled environment at either 25 or 37° C., and the oscillation speed was set at 1500 rpm.

Binding interaction analysis was performed using proprietary software from Fortebio (Fortebio Data Analysis Software version 6.3.0.36). Global fits were performed for all samples, using a 1:1 binding model. The nature of these global fits constrained all values of concentration to a single pair of association and dissociation rates that were themselves constrained to each other. Affinities (K_(D)), association and dissociation rates were averaged over the various loading levels used in the analysis. Under these conditions, Adnectins bound human PCSK9 with affinities ranging from 200 pM to 7.5 nM, as shown in Table 8 below. Association rates ranged from 10⁴-10⁵ M⁻¹s⁻¹, and coupled with dissociations that were typically 10⁻³-10⁻⁵ s⁻¹.

Solution Phase Affinity KinExA

The solution affinities of ATI001081 and AT1001174 for human PCSK9 were measured using a Kinetic Exclusion Assay (KinExA). The relative unbound Adnectin concentrations were measured by capture on a hPCSK9 solid matrix followed by detection with a fluorescently labeled antibody that recognizes the Adnectin scaffold. Due to technical limitations, the lowest concentration of Adnectins that could be tested was 1 nM. The global K_(D) analyses estimate a K_(D)=70 pM (28-127 pM within a 95% confidence interval) for ATI001081 and a K_(D)=223 pM for AT1001174 (range of 54-585 pM within 95% confidence interval).

The thermodynamics and stoichiometry of binding of Adnectins ATI001174 and ATI001081 to human PCSK9 were characterized by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). Solution phase binding was measured in 25 mM HEPES, pH 7.41, 150 mM NaCl at 37° C. An average unimolecular binding constant of 1.3±0.2 nM was observed for ATI001174 and 1.4±0.4 nM for ATI001081. Detailed thermodynamic analyses are shown in Table 10 and FIG. 13. The difference in observed enthalpies (−3.3 kcal/mol) for the two Adnectins suggests that ATI001174 incurs an order of magnitude reduction in its affinity for PCSK9 due to PEGylation that is at least partially offset by the corresponding difference in entropy (−10.4 cal/mol·K).

Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer (FRET) Assay

Three FRET based assays were developed to determine the binding affinity and potency of PCSK9-binding Adnectins, adapted from the general method described previously by Maio et al. (See, Miao, B. et al., Meth. Enzymol., 357:180-188 (2002)). The PCSK9:EGFA FRET assay (FIGS. 2 and 3) measured the inhibition of PCSK9 binding to the low density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR) epidermal growth factor precursor homology domain (EGFA domain), using recombinant human PCSK9 expressed in baculovirus and a synthetic 40-mer EGFA peptide (biotinylated). EGFA has been shown to represent the key interacting domain of LDLR with PCSK9 (Kwon, H. J. et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 105(6):1820-1825 (2008)). This assay used a PCSK9 C-terminal domain binding mAb (mAb 4H5) labeled with Eu-chelate to provide FRET interaction with biotinylated EGFA through the streptavidin/allophycocyanin fluorophore complex.

Two other related, PCSK9-dependent FRET assays were also constructed. In one of these assays, competitive displacement by Adnectins of biotinylated Adnectins-AT1000972 or AT1001125 is quantified (AT1000972 results shown in FIG. 4). AT1000972 is a biotinylated version of 1459D05 and AT1001125 is a biotinylated version of ATI001081. In another assay, direct binding of an Adnectin (his-tagged) to PCSK9 is assayed using anti-his6 antibody (FIG. 5). In each of the FRET assays, human PCSK9 concentration was either 1 or 5 nM. In some cases cynomolgus monkey PCSK9 replaced hPCSK9. Table 11 summarizes the overall data from these three FRET assays.

Cell-Based Inhibition of PCSK9 Activity by PCSK9 Adnectins DiI-LDL Uptake Assay

Cell culture methods were developed to assay the ability of Adnectins to inhibit PCSK9 activity on the LDLR. An effective means of measuring cellular LDLR activity is through an assay for uptake of labeled LDL, as shown by Lagace, T. A. et al. (J. Clin. Invest., 116(11):2995-3005 (2006)). The work further adapted a method for LDLR functional activity using fluorescent-labeled LDL (DiI-LDL) uptake adapted from a method originally shown by Teupser et al. (Biochim. Biophys. Acta, 1303(3):193-198 (1996)). Cells were first preincubated with recombinant human PCSK9 protein (10 ug/mL, 135 nM) in the presence and absence of Adnectins as shown. After 2 hours, the remaining LDLR activity was assayed by incubation with DiI-LDL (5 ug) for 2 hours followed by an assessment of accumulated DiI-LDL inside the cells using high content fluorescent micrscopy and image analysis (Cellomics). FIG. 6 shows the effect of several Adnectins to inhibit PCSK9 activity and restore LDLR functional activity in HepG2 cells. In this assay, the Adnectins inhibited PCSK9 and restored DiI-LDL uptake with the following EC₅₀ values: 1459D05, EC₅₀=190 nM; 1784F03, 210 nM; 2012A04, 130 nM; 2013E01, 160 nM.

LDLR Depletion Assay

HepG2 cells were grown in complete media, Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (EMEM, ATCC®) with 10% FBS (Hyclone), and split twice a week with Trypsin 0.25% (Invitrogen). To induce upregulation of the LDL receptor, cells were incubated overnight in LPDS media [RPMI (ATCC) with 5% lipoprotein deficient serum (Intracel), 100 nM superstation (BMS) and 50 uM Sodium Mevalonate (Sigma)]. The following day, cells were trypsinized briefly with Trypsin 0.05% (Invitrogen) and resuspended at 2×10̂6 cells per ml then aliquoted at 100 ul per well in a V-bottom 96 well plate. In the meantime, Adnectins were pre-incubated with PCSK9 in LPDS media for an hour at 37° C. After an hour, cells were centrifuged and resuspended in 100 ul of Adnectin/PCSK9 mix and incubated overnight at 37° C. The following day cells were labeled with an antibody for LDL receptor (BAF 2148 from R&D), followed by a phycoerythrin (PE)-streptavidin conjugated secondary antibody (BD554061 from BD Pharmingen) and analyzed by FACS on the FACS Cantoll (BD).

10 nM of PCSK9 was pre-incubated for an hour with increasing concentration of Adnectin candidates before being added to HepG2 cells. After overnight incubation LDLR level were measured by FACS and the percentage of inhibition of PCSK9-induced LDLR depletion was graphed and EC50 determined using PRISM. 1459D05 appears to be the least potent candidate among those tested and did not reach the maximum inhibition whereas the other clones reach 150-200% maximum inhibition of PCSK9 (FIG. 7). A summary of the PCSK9 Adnectin in vitro pharmacology data is shown below in Table 12.

Example 3 In Vivo Pharmacodynamic Effects of PCSK9 Adnectins Human PCSK9 Transgenic Mouse Models

PCSK9 Adnectins exhibited pharmacodynamic effects in vivo in two different human transgenic mouse models. One mouse model overexpresses human PCSK9 levels markedly and exhibits hypercholesterolemia as a result (Lagace, T. A. et al., J. Clin. Invest., 116(11):2995-3005 (2006)). The other mouse model is a genomic hPCSK9 transgenic (BAC-transgenic) which is regulated in liver similarly to mouse PCSK9 and which expresses near human-normal levels of hPCSK9 in plasma. For these studies, ELISA assays using species-specific, site-specific labeled antibodies and Adnectins were developed to measure plasma unbound human PCSK9 levels (i.e., hPCSK9 not complexed with the administered Adnectin) as an index of target engagement.

Single doses of PCSK9 Adnectins in PEGylated form were injected intraperitoneally into the overexpresser hPCSK9 transgenic mouse model at the doses shown in FIGS. 8-9. PBS or dialysate samples were also injected as controls. Adnectin 1459D05-PEG (100 mg/kg intraperitoneal) treatment rapidly decreased plasma total cholesterol (FIG. 8A) and LDL-C (not shown) to >35% below baseline in 4 hr. Cholesterol levels in Adnectin treated mice remained below control levels throughout the 48 hr test period. This was accompanied by a sharp decrease in circulating levels of unbound hPCSK9 in the Adnectin treated transgenic mice (FIG. 8B). Western blots of liver taken at 6 hours in parallel studies showed that LDLR protein levels were increased ˜2-fold in Adnectin-treated mice (not shown). In further studies in this transgenic mouse model, ATI001114 was administered at 10 or 60 mg/kg. A marked, dose-dependent, rapid lowering of plasma cholesterol was seen, concomitant with a dose-related reduction in unbound hPCSK9 levels (FIG. 9). These studies represent in vivo proof-of-concept for PCSK9 Adnectins as effective cholesterol lowering agents in a hypercholesterolemic human transgenic PCSK9 mouse model.

In vivo studies were conducted in the normal expresser hPCSK9 transgenic mouse model. Injection of single doses of 1459D05-PEG or ATI001114 (5 mg/kg) resulted in rapid and strong decreases in unbound hPCSK9 levels in plasma (FIG. 10). This pharmacodynamic effect on unbound hPCSK9 was more pronounced following ATI001114 compared to 1459D05-PEG, with greater magnitude and duration of effect observed for the higher affinity/potency Adnectin. A further study of dose dependency revealed that that the 50% inhibitory dose (ED50) was less than 0.1 mg/kg for ATI001114 at time points from 3 to 48 hours post-dose, as seen in FIG. 11. These findings in a normal expresser transgenic mouse model show that PCSK9 inhibitory Adnectins exhibit marked, affinity-dependent and dose-dependent effects on pharmacodynamic endpoints which are correlated with LDLR regulation and LDL cholesterol lowering.

Cynomolgus Monkeys

A pharmacodynamic study was conducted in normal lean cynomolgus monkeys. Adnectin ATI001114 was administered to cynos intravenously at 5 mg/kg, and plasma samples were collected at time intervals for LDL-C assay and pharmacokinetic assessment. A single dose of ATI001114 rapidly lowered plasma LDL-C levels to >50% vs. baseline (or vs. PBS control group) within 48 hours (FIG. 12). The duration of effect on LDL-C continued for more than a week with eventual return to baseline by 3 wk. This effect was observed with both two-branched and four-branched 40 kDa PEGylated forms of the anti-PCSK9 Adnectin (ATI001114 and ATI001211, respectively). ATI001211 is ATI001081 with a 40 kDa 4-branched NOF PEG moiety. Total cholesterol showed a similar pattern but no effect on HDL or other metabolic parameter was observed (not shown). Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that the plasma half-life was approximately 80-120 hrs, consistent with the pharmacodynamics of LDL lowering in the cynos. These findings indicate that a PCSK9 Adnectin is efficacious and fast-acting with rapid, robust, specific effects on LDL-C lowering in cynomolgus monkey model.

Example 4 In Vitro and In Vivo Pharmacological Evaluation of the PCSK9 Adnectin-Fc Fusion Protein, PRD460 Production of PRD460

A vector encoding PRD460 was transfected into HEK-293 6E cells using polyethylenimine (PEI). The cells were grown at 37° C. for 5 days with 80% humidification and 5% CO₂. The cells were then pelleted, the supernatant was passed through a 0.22 um filter and then loaded onto to a ProteinA column. The column was washed with PBS and the protein was eluted with 20 mM Gylcine, 150 mM NaCl pH 2.8. The eluted protein was concentrated and passed over a superdex200 column in 50 mM MES, 100 mM NaCl pH 5.8.

PRD460 K_(D) by SPR

The binding characteristics were characterized by Surface Plasmon Resonance (SPR). Anti-human antibody was immobilized on a BIACORE® chip, and PRD460 (sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO: 322) was captured on the chip surface. Varying concentrations of hPCSK9 were placed into the flow solution using MgCl₂ (3 M) for chip regeneration between cycles. For comparison, ATI-1081 was captured on an anti-His antibody immobilized on a BIACORE® chip. Duplicate experiments for PRD460 were performed on different days. Kinetic determinations were performed at 25° C. Evaluation of the kinetic parameters was performed using the 1:1 Binding algorithm on the BIACORE® Evaluation software.

Under these conditions, ATI-1081 bound to human PCSK9 with a dissociation constant (K_(D)) of 6.7 nM at 25° C. and PRD460 bound to human PCSK9 with a dissociation constant (K_(D)) of 3.29+/−0.55 nM at 25° C. (Table 13). The off-rate determinations using this assay format may be artificially limited by the off-rate of the captured ligand from the immobilized capture antibody, thus the assay format using direct immobilization of PCSK9 is a more accurate reflection of dissociation constant (K_(D)) for ATI-1081.

TABLE 13 Kinetic Parameters for PRD460 and ATI-1081 Against Captured Human PCSK9 ka (1/Ms) kd (1/s) KD (nM) PRD460 3.75 +/− 0.7E+04 1.21 +/− 0.05E−04 3.29 +/− 0.55 ATI-1081 3.65E+04 2.45E−04 6.7

PCSK9 Binding FRET Assays

Two fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) based assays were used to determine the competitive binding potency of PRD460 and other Adnectins to hPCSK9. The PCSK9:EGFA FRET assay measures the binding of PCSK9 to the LDLR, using a soluble epidermal growth factor precursor homology domain-A (EGFA) peptide and recombinant human PCSK9. The PCSK9:ATI972 FRET assay measures competitive displacement by Adnectins of the biotinylated Adnectin, ATI-972, from PCSK9.

In the PCSK9:EGFA FRET assay (at 5 nM PCSK9), PRD460 completely and potently displaced EGFA from the PCSK9 binding site with EC50=0.7 nM (FIG. 1, left panel). PRD460 was more potent in this assay than either ATI-1174 (EC50=1.9 nM) or ATI-1081 (EC50=3.7 nM) (FIG. 14). The greater apparent potency of PRD460 in this assay may be explained by bivalent (2:1) binding of Adnectin PRD460 to PCSK9 (theoretically) compared to monovalent (1:1) binding by ATI-1081 and ATI-1174.

Using the PCSK9:ATI-972 FRET assay (at 5 nM human PCSK9), PRD460 inhibited with EC50=0.3 nM, compared to 0.8 nM for ATI-1114 and 2.8 nm for ATI-1081 (FIG. 15). These findings indicate that PRD460 potently displaced the biotinylated Adnectin ATI-972 from its binding site on PCSK9. The higher potency of PRD460 relative to ATI-1081 and ATI-1174 is consistent with bivalent binding by PRD460.

Inhibition of PCSK9-Induced LDLR Depletion in HepG2 Cells

Human PCSK9 promotes the depletion of LDLR from the surface of HepG2 cells. Pre-incubation of PCSK9 with PCSK9 Adnectins inhibits PCSK9 binding to LDLR and prevents the depletion of LDLR from the cell surface. This assay was used to measure the potency of ATI-1081, ATI-1174 and PRD460 to inhibit PCSK9 induced depletion of LDLR from the cell surface.

A dilution series of PCSK9 Adnectins were pre-incubated with 10 nM human PCSK9 for 1 hr at 37 degrees, the pre-incubated mixture was added to HepG2 cells, and the cells were incubated for 24 hours. Following this incubation, the level of LDLR on HepG2 cells was measured using FACS analysis. The percentage of inhibition of PCSK9-induced LDLR depletion was calculated and graphed (FIG. 15). In this assay ATI-1081, ATI-1174, and PRD460 inhibited PCSK9 with comparable EC50's (9 nM, 8 nM and 6 nM respectively) although a leftward-shift of the response curve was consistently observed for PRD460. These EC50's represent the limit of the assay.

PCSK9 Cell Entry Assay in HepG2 Cells

PCSK9 binding to the LDLR on the surface of hepatocytes results in co-internalization of the LDLR-PCSK9 complex during LDLR endocytosis, leading to enhanced degradation of the LDLR. A cell-based assay was developed to measure LDLR-dependent cellular entry of fluorescent PCSK9. Human PCSK9 was covalently labeled using the fluorophore ALEXA FLUOR®-647(AF647). PCSK9-AF647 was incubated with HepG2 cells with or without PCSK9-Adnectins and the intracellular fluorescence was quantified by high content fluorescent microscopy and image analysis (Cellomics). Dependence of PCSK9-AF647 cell entry on LDLR endocytosis was established in preliminary experiments. HepG2 cells were incubated with 10 nM PCSK9-AF647 and varying levels of Adnectins for 4 hrs at 37 degrees. In this assay, potent inhibition of PCSK9-AF647 intracellular fluorescence was observed for PRD460 (EC50=6 nM) as well as for ATI-1174 (EC50=10 nM) (FIG. 16). These findings indicate that Adnectin PRD460 and ATI-1174 effectively blocked the binding of PCSK9 to cell surface LDLR in a human hepatic-derived cell line in culture, thereby reducing the internalization of PCSK9-AF647 during LDLR endocytosis.

In Vivo Transgenic Mouse Study

In vivo studies were conducted in the normal expresser hPCSK9 transgenic mouse model. Binding of Adnectins to PCSK9 in the plasma is predicted to result in a decrease in the measured amount of unbound (free) circulating PCSK9. The decrease in unbound PCSK9 is the initial pharmacodynamic event which results in inhibition of the PCSK9-LDLR interaction and in LDL cholesterol lowering. Administration of single doses of PRD460 (i.p. doses from 0.6 to 18 mg/kg) to the transgenic mice resulted in rapid, strong decreases in plasma unbound hPCSK9 levels (FIG. 17). Dose-dependent decreases in unbound PCSK9 were observed with ED50<0.6 mg/kg at the 3 hr time point. These findings in the normal expresser human PCSK9 transgenic mouse model show that PRD460 binds strongly and potently to circulating hPCSK9 in vivo.

In Vivo Pharmacodynamics in Cynomolgus Monkeys

The pharmacodynamic effects of PCSK9 Adnectin PRD460 were evaluated in normal lean cynomolgus monkeys. PRD460 was administered to monkeys by i.v. dosing at 15 mg/kg, and plasma samples were collected at time intervals over 4 wks for the assay of LDL-C and free PCSK9 levels. A single dose of PRD460 rapidly lowered plasma LDL-C levels in the monkeys, reaching an average maximum effect of 42% of baseline LDL-C (58% reduction; n=3 monkeys) by day 3 after dosing (FIG. 18). LDL-C levels were reduced by 50% or more for a week at this dose, remaining significantly below baseline for 3 wks and returning to baseline by 4 wks. Total cholesterol showed a similar pattern but no effect on HDL was observed (not shown). Treatment with PRD460 caused an immediate drop to near zero (below the lower limit of quantitation) in the unbound, free form of plasma PCSK9 (FIG. 18). The free PCSK9 levels remained near the lower limits of detection for several days then gradually returned to baseline levels by the end of 4 wks, consistent with a cause/effect relationship with plasma LDL-C. The data indicate that plasma LDL lowering mirrored the drop in free PCSK9 levels, consistent with PCSK9 inhibition regulating LDLR function following treatment with PRD460 in vivo. Pharmacokinetic analysis revealed that the plasma half-life of Adnectin PRD460 was approximately 70 hrs in this cynomolgus monkey study. These findings indicate that a PCSK9 Adnectin-Fc fusion protein is highly efficacious and fast-acting with robust, specific, and long-lasting effects on LDL-C lowering in the cynomolgus monkey model.

In Vivo Pharmacological Evaluation of the Unmodified PCSK9 Adnectin, ATI-1081

In addition to modified Adnectins containing a PK moiety (e.g., PEGylated and Fc-fusion Adnectins), an unmodified (“naked”) PCSK9 Adnectin can also be administered. Strategies for unmodified PCSK9 Adnectin treatment include more frequent dosing to accommodate the shorter PK half-life, or using an extended release subcutaneous formulation to increase the length of the absorption phase and extend the pharmacodynamic effect. Many such formulations can be envisioned including, as a simple example, propylene glycol/PBS solutions to delay the rate of absorption and increase the time of exposure to the Adnectin in the circulation.

The unmodified Adnectin ATI-1081 was administered to cynomolgus monkeys i.v. at 10 mg/kg in PBS vehicle. ATI-1114 (PEGylated version of the same Adnectin) was also administered at 1 mg/kg in PBS as a comparator. ATI-1081 elicited a rapid, transient inhibition of unbound circulating PCSK9 levels. Within 30 minutes the extent of initial inhibition approached 100% (below the limits of quantitation) before returning to baseline several hours later (FIG. 19). Concurrently, a trend to lower LDL-C levels was observed over the first 24 hrs in the ATI-1081 treated monkeys (FIG. 20).

The unmodified Adnectin ATI-1081 was also administered to the normal expresser hPCSK9 transgenic mice in a simple extended release subcutaneous formulation using 50:50 propylene glycol:PBS vehicle (PG vehicle) compared to PBS vehicle. This formulation is expected to modestly delay the rate of Adnectin absorption and increase the exposure time to ATI-1081 in the circulation, thus improving the pharmacodynamic response. Administration (intraperitoneal) of ATI-1081 at 1 mg/kg in PBS vehicle resulted in ˜50% lowering of unbound plasma PCSK9 at 3 hr, compared to >85% lowering for ATI-1114 at 0.3 mg/kg (FIG. 21). In a second experiment in the transgenic mice, ATI-1081 administered by subcutaneous injection in PG vehicle resulted in nearly equivalent decreases in unbound LDL compared to ATI-1174, with an improved duration of effect over the first 6 hrs of the study (FIG. 22). These findings indicate that the unmodified PCSK9 Adnectin ATI-1081 when administered subcutaneously in a simple extended release vehicle bound to the target human PCSK9 in vivo and elicited the initial pharmacodynamic response. The time dependency of the response was consistent with extended release prolonging the duration of effect for the unmodified PCSK9 Adnectin.

Example 5 Serum Albumin-Binding Adnectins (SABA) Example 5A Screening and Selection of Candidate Serum Albumin-Binding Adnectin Overview

A selection technique known as PROfusion (see e.g., Roberts et al., Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA, 94(23):12297-12302 (1997) and WO 2008/066752) was applied to a DNA library with variable regions designed into the BC, DE and FG loops of ¹⁰Fn3. A random library of greater than 10¹³ molecules was created from this design, and selection pressure was applied against a biotinylated form of HSA to isolate candidate serum albumin-binding Adnectin (SABA) with desirable binding properties.

High Throughput Protein Production (HTTP) Process

The various HSA binding Adnectins were purified using a high throughput protein production process (HTPP). Selected binders were cloned into pET9d vector containing a HIS6 tag and transformed into E. coli BL21(DE3)_(p)LysS cells. Transformed cells were inoculated in 5 ml LB medium containing 50 μg/mL Kanamycin in a 24-well format and grown at 37° C. overnight. Fresh 5 ml LB medium (50 μg/mL Kanamycin) cultures were prepared for inducible expression by aspirating 200 μl from the overnight culture and dispensing it into the appropriate well. The cultures were grown at 37° C. until A₆₀₀ 0.6-0.9. After induction with 1 mM isopropyl-β-thiogalactoside (IPTG), the culture was grown for another 4 hours at 30° C. and harvested by centrifugation for 10 minutes at 3220×g at 4° C. Cell Pellets were frozen at −80° C.

Cell pellets (in 24-well format) were lysed by resuspension in 450 μl of Lysis buffer (50 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 1× Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail-EDTA free (Roche), 1 mM PMSF, 10 mM CHAPS, 40 mM Imidazole, 1 mg/ml lysozyme, 30 ug/ml DNAse, 2 ug/ml aprotonin, pH 8.0) and shaken at room temperature for 1 hour. Lysates were clarified and re-racked into a 96-well format by transfer into a 96-well Whatman GF/D UNIFILTER® fitted with a 96-well, 650 μl catch plate and centrifuged for 5 minutes at 200×g. The clarified lysates were transferred to a 96-well Ni-Chelating Plate that had been equilibrated with equilibration buffer (50 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 10 mM CHAPS, 40 mM Imidazole, pH 8.0) and incubated for 5 min. Unbound material was removed. The resin was washed 2×0.3 ml/well with Wash buffer #1 (50 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 5 mM CHAPS, 40 mM Imidazole, pH 8.0). Next the resin was washed with 3×0.3 ml/well with PBS. Prior to elution each well was washed with 50 μl Elution buffer (PBS+20 mM EDTA), incubated for 5 min and this wash discarded by vacuum. Protein was eluted by applying an additional 100 ul of Elution buffer to each well. After 30 minute incubation at room temperature the plate(s) were centrifuged for 5 minutes at 200×g and eluted protein collected in 96-well catch plates containing 5 μl of 0.5M MgCl₂ affixed to the bottom of the Ni-plates. Eluted protein was quantified using a BCA Protein assay with SGE (control Adnectin) as the protein standard. The SGE Adnectin is a wild-type ¹⁰Fn3 domain (SEQ ID NO: 1) in which integrin binding domain (amino acids RGD at positions 78-80) have been replaced with SGE.

HSA, RhSA and MuSA Direct Binding ELISA

For assaying direct binders to HSA, MaxiSorp plates (Nunc International, Rochester, N.Y.) were coated with 10 ug/mL HSA (Sigma, St. Louis, Mo.) in PBS at 4° C. overnight followed by blocking in casein block buffer (Thermo Scientific, Rockford, Ill.) for 1-3 hours at room temperature. For single-point screening assays, purified HTPP Adnectin were diluted 1:20 in casein block buffer and allowed to bind to HSA in each well for 1 hour at room temperature. For dose response assays, concentrations ranging from 0.1 nM up to 1 μM were used. After washing in PBST to remove unbound Adnectins, anti-His mAb-HRP conjugate (R&D Systems, MN) diluted 1:2500 in casein block buffer was added to the bound His-tagged Adnectin for 1 hour at room temperature. Excess conjugate was removed by washing with PBST and bound Adnectins detected using TMB detection reagents (BD Biosciences) according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Aggregation Measurement by Analytical Size Exclusion Chromatography

Size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was performed on the SABAs resulting from the HTPP. SEC of HTPP derived material was performed using a SUPERDEX® 200 5/150 or SUPERDEX® 75 5/150 column (GE Healthcare) on an Agilent 1100 or 1200 HPLC system with UV detection at A₂₁₄ nm and A₂₈₀ nm and with fluorescence detection (excitation=280 nm, emission=350 nm). A buffer of 100 mM sodium sulfate, 100 mM sodium phosphate, 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 6.8 at appropriate flow rate of the SEC column employed. Gel filtration standards (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, Calif.) were used for molecular weight calibration.

The results of the SEC on the HTPP purified SABAs were shown to be predominantly monomeric and eluted in the approximate range of 10 kDa vs. globular Gel Filtration standards (BioRad).

Identification of Candidate Serum Albumin-Binding Adnectin (SABA)

As a result of the screening for HSA/RhSA/MuSA binding and biophysical criteria, four unique serum albumin-binding Adnectins (SABA) were identified and chosen to have their half-lives evaluated in mice. In order to carry out in vitro and in vivo characterization, midscales were undertaken for the four SABAs. Table 6 provides the sequences of twenty-six unique SABA core sequences identified from PROfusion, designated as SABA 1-26. SABA4 had a scaffold mutation that was fixed prior to midscaling. The scaffold-perfect version of SABA4 is SABAS. SABA4 and SABAS have identical sequences in the BC, DE, and FG loops.

Example 5B Production and Formulation of Candidate SABAs Midscale Protein Production of SABAs

The selected SABAs described in Example 5A, followed by the His₆tag, were cloned into a pET 9d vector and expressed in E. coli BL21(DE3)pLysS cells (see Table 6 for each His-tagged SABA sequence designated SABA1.1, SABA2.1, SABA3.1, and SABA5.1). 20 ml of an inoculum culture (generated from a single plated colony) was used to inoculate 1 liter of LB medium containing 50 μg/mL Kanamycin. The culture was grown at 37° C. until A₆₀₀ 0.6-1.0. After induction with 1 mM isopropyl-β-thiogalactoside (IPTG) the culture was grown for another 4 hours at 30° C. and harvested by centrifugation for 30 minutes at ≧10,000×g at 4° C. Cell Pellets were frozen at −80° C. The cell pellet was resuspended in 25 mL of lysis buffer (20 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 1× Complete Protease Inhibitor Cocktail-EDTA free (Roche), pH 7.4) using an ULTRA-TURRAX® homogenizer (IKA works) on ice. Cell lysis was achieved by high pressure homogenization (≧18,000 psi) using a Model M-110S MICROFLUIDIZER®(Microfluidics). The soluble fraction was separated by centrifugation for 30 minutes at 23,300×g at 4° C. The supernatant was clarified via 0.45 μm filter. The clarified lysate was loaded onto a HISTRAP® column (GE) pre-equilibrated with 20 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 7.4. The column was then washed with 25 column volumes of 20 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, pH 7.4, followed by 20 column volumes of 20 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 25 mM imidazole pH 7.4, and then 35 column volumes of 20 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 40 mM imidazole pH 7.4. Protein was eluted with 15 column volumes of 20 mM NaH₂PO₄, 0.5 M NaCl, 500 mM imidazole pH 7.4, fractions pooled based on absorbance at A₂₈₀ and dialyzed against 1×PBS, 50 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl pH 8.5 or 50 mM NaOAc; 150 mM NaCl; pH 4.5. Any precipitate was removed by filtering at 0.22 μm.

Midscale expression and purification yielded highly pure and active Adnectins that were expressed in a soluble form and purified from the soluble fraction of the bacterial cytosol. SEC analysis on a SUPERDEX® 200 or SUPERDEX® 75 10/30GL in a mobile phase of 100 mM NaPO₄, 100 mM NaSO₄, 150 mM NaCl, pH 6.8 (GE Healthcare) demonstrated predominantly monomeric Adnectins.

Formulation of SABA1.2

One specific SABA, SABA1.2 (SEQ ID NO: 411), was chosen for a preliminary formulation screen. SABA1.2 comprises an (ED)₅ extension on the “core 1” sequence of ¹⁰Fn3 (see SEQ ID NO: 421 in Table 6). For SABA1.2, a stable formulation of 10 mM succinic acid, 8% sorbitol, 5% glycine at pH 6.0 and at a product concentration of 5 mg/mL was identified. In this formulation the protein melting temperature was 75° C. as determined by Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) using a protein concentration of 1.25 mg/mL. The formulation provided satisfactory physical and chemical stability at 4° C. and 25° C., with an initial aggregate level at 1.2%. After one month of stability, the level of aggregation was very low (1.6% at 4° C. and 3.8% at 25° C.). The protein was also stable in this formulation after five cycles of freeze-thaw as transitioned from −80° C. and −20° C. to ambient temperature. In addition, in this formulation SABA1.2 was soluble to at least 20 mg/mL protein concentration at 4° C. and ambient temperature with no precipitation or increase in aggregation.

Example 5C Biophysical Characterization of Candidate SABAs Size Exclusion Chromatography

Standard size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was performed on the candidate SABAs resulting from the midscale process. SEC of midscaled material was performed using a SUPERDEX® 200 10/30 or on a SUPERDEX® 75 10/30 column (GE Healthcare) on an Agilent 1100 or 1200 HPLC system with UV detection at A₂₁₄ nm and A₂₈₀ nm and with fluorescence detection (excitation=280 nm, emission=350 nm). A buffer of 100 mM sodium sulfate, 100 mM sodium phosphate, 150 mM sodium chloride, pH 6.8 at appropriate flow rate of the SEC column employed. Gel filtration standards (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Hercules, Calif.) were used for molecular weight calibration.

The results of the SEC on the midscaled purified SABAs showed predominantly monomeric Adnectin and elution in the approximate range of 10 kDa vs. globular Gel Filtration standards (BioRad) as showed.

Thermostability

Differential Scanning calorimetry (DSC) analyses of the midscaled SABAs were performed to determine their respective T_(m)'s. A 1 mg/ml solution was scanned in a N-DSC II calorimeter (calorimetry Sciences Corp) by ramping the temperature from 5° C. to 95° C. at a rate of 1 degree per minute under 3 atm pressure. The data was analyzed vs. a control run of the appropriate buffer using a best fit using Orgin Software (OrginLab Corp). The results of the SEC and DSC analyses are summarized in Table 14.

TABLE 14 Summary of SEC and DSC Analyses on Candidate SABAs SEC Clone Monomer (%) Dimer (%) DSC (Tm) SABA1.1 92.3 7.7 63.9° C. SABA5.1 88 12 70.1° C. SABA2.1 91 9 58.5° C./78.2° C. SABA3.1 99 BLD 65.2° C.

Example 5D Characterization of Candidate SABA1 Binding to Serum Albumin

The kinetics of selected SABA clones purified from HTPP and/or midscaled material described in Examples 5A and 5B were determined by capturing the respective serum albumin (HSA/RhSA/MuSA) on the surface of a Biasensor CMS chip and flowing a concentration series of SABAs over both the reference flow cell and the captured albumins. In addition, binding to albumin was carried out under various pH conditions ranging from pH 5.5 to pH 7.4. HSA-binding Adnectins SABA2.1, SABA3.1, SABA4.1, and SABA1.1 cross reacted with RhSA but did not cross react with MuSA. SABA2 and SABA4 binding is pH sensitive whereas clone SABA3 demonstrated pH resistance binding to HSA down to pH 6.0. SABA1.1 fits biochemical criteria for pH resistance and affinity/kinetics down to pH 5.5.

Domain mapping was determined by BIACORE®. Selected SABA clones purified from HTPP and/or midscaled material were determined by capturing HSA or a construct consisting of just HSA-domain I & II or HSA-domain III on the surface of a Biasensor CMS chip and flowing a concentration series of the SABAs over both the reference flow cell and the captured albumins. Clones SABA2 & SABA1 bound to HSA and the HSA-domain I-II construct but not the HSA-domain III construct. Clones SABA3 & SABA4 bound to HSA but not to either the HSA-domain I-II or HSA-domain III constructs. The results are summarized in Table 15.

Example 5E Examination of the In Vivo t_(1/2) of Candidate SABAs

The half-life of HSA in mice was determined to allow for evaluation of HSA-binding Adnectins in mice as the HSA-binding Adnectins do not cross react with MuSA. HSA was injected into the tail vein of approximately 6 week old Ncr nude female mice at a 20 mg/kg (FIG. 23A) and 50 mg/kg dose (FIG. 23B), and the concentration of HSA in blood samples taken at intervals post-injection was determined by ELISA. The t_(1/2) of HSA injected into mice at 20 mg/kg and 50 mg/kg were determined to be ˜24 hrs and ˜20 hrs, respectively.

Half-Life Determination of SABA1-4 in Mice

One liter E. coli growth of HSA binding clones SABA1.1, SABA2.1, SABA3.1, and SABA4.1 were prepared, purified and endotoxin removed. Each SABA variant was injected into the tail vein of mice, and the concentration in blood samples taken at intervals post-injection was determined by ELISA.

The pharmacokinetic profiles of each SABA were compared in the presence or absence of HSA in approximately 6 week old Ncr nude female mice. The mice that were co-injected with HSA had the HSA premixed with each SABA (HSA in a 3-4 molar excess) because the binding clone was selective for HSA and RhSA and did not bind the mouse serum albumin. The half-life of SABA1.1 (clone 1318H04) in mice plasma was 0.56 hours whereas the half-life of SABA1.1 co-injected with HSA was 5.6 hours, a ^(˜)10-fold increase in half life (FIG. 24A). The half-life of SABA2.1 in mice plasma was 0.24 hours whereas the half-life of SABA2.1 co-injected with HSA was 2.8 hours, a ^(˜)12-fold increase in half life (FIG. 24B). The half-life of SABA3.1 (clone 1245H07) in mice plasma was 0.28 hours whereas the half-life of SABA3.1 co-injected with HSA was 0.53 hours, a ^(˜)2-fold increase in half life (FIG. 24C). The half-life of SABA4.1 in mice plasma was 0.66 hours whereas the half-life of SABA4 co-injected with HSA was 4.6 hours, a ^(˜)7-fold increase in half life (FIG. 24D).

Half-Life Determination of SABA1.1 and SABA5.1 in Cynomolgous Monkeys

A three week single dose proof of concept study of SABA1.1 (FIG. 26A) and SABA5.1 (FIG. 26B) was conducted in cynomolgus monkeys to assess pharmacokinetics at a 1 mg per kg (mpk) dose IV in 2 cynomolgus monkeys. The pharmacokinetics were evaluated using a quantitative ELISA-based assay that was developed to detect the Adnectin in plasma samples. SABA1.1 has a half-life in the range of 96-137 hours (FIG. 26A and Table 17A). SABA5.1 has a half-life of approximately 12 hours and was only measureable in the ELISA up to 120 hours (FIG. 26B). Table 17A summarizes data for SABA1.1; Table 17B summarizes data for SABA5.1.

Example 5F Characterization of SABA1 Binding to Serum Albumin SABA1.1 and 1.2 Binds to HSA and RhSA

SABA1.2, a “core 1” ¹⁰Fn3 comprising an (ED)₅ extension (SEQ ID NO: 421 in Table 6) bound to human serum albumin (HSA) at neutral pH and 25° C. with an average association rate constant (ka) of 8.21E+03 M⁻¹s⁻¹, and an average dissociation rate constant (kd) of 4.43E-04 s⁻¹, for a calculated average K_(d) of 55.3 nM (Table 18). For rhesus serum albumin (RhSA), the measured average association rate constant was 6.6E+03 M^(−i)s⁻¹, and the dissociation rate constant was 3.78E-03 s⁻¹, giving a calculated average K_(d) of 580 nM. No measurable interaction between SABA1.2 and mouse or rat serum albumin could be observed up to 1 μM (Table 18 and FIG. 27). At 37° C., the ka and kd increased between 2 to 5-fold, leading to a ˜2-fold increase in affinity for HSA and 1/2 the affinity for RhSA (Table 18).

Additionally, a calorimetric titration was performed to determine the stoichiometry between SABA1 and HSA. For this study, SABA1.1, a “core 1” ¹⁰Fn3 comprising a His6 extension (SEQ ID NO: 420 in Table 6), was used. HSA (10 μl per injection of 115 μM protein solution) was injected into the calorimetric cell containing SABA1.1 at a concentration of 8.1 μM. The experiment was performed at 37° C. in PBS buffer pH 7.4. FIG. 28 shows that SABA1.1 binds to HSA with 1:1 stoichiometry.

SABA1.2 Binds Potently to HSA at Low pH

The long half-life of albumins (e.g., t_(1/2) of HSA is 19 days) is due in large part to the fact that they are recycled from an endocytic pathway by binding to the neonatal Fc receptor, FcRn, under the low pH conditions that exist inside the endosome. As shown in Table 19 SABA1.2 potently bound HSA at the endosomal pH of 5.5, suggesting that the t_(1/2) of SABA1, once bound to HSA, would also benefit from the FcRn recycling mechanism.

SABA1.2 Binds to Domains I and II of HSA, but not Domain III

The binding site SABA1.2 on albumin was mapped to the N-terminal domains I or II using recombinant HSA fragments and has no detectable binding to domain III (FIG. 29). Because domain III is the domain of HSA that primarily interacts with FcRn, it is less likely that SABA1.2 would compete for HSA binding to FcRn, again increasing the possibility of fully leveraging the recycling mechanism for enhanced half-life.

Example 5G In Vivo Pharmacology of SABA1.2

A four week single dose pre-toxicology study of SABA1.2 was conducted in cynomolgus monkeys to assess pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity at two different dose levels. The pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity were also evaluated in a three-week, single-dose pre-toxicology study that included both intravenous and subcutaneous administration arms. Additionally, the pharmacokinetics of SABA1.2 was evaluated in two separate, single dose pre-toxicology studies in cynomolgus monkeys using a quantitative ELISA-based assay that was developed to detect SABA1.2 in plasma samples.

SABA1.2 was administered to monkeys at 1 mpk and 10 mpk IV. Non-compartmental analyses using WINNONLIN® software were performed to evaluate pharmacokinetic parameters. As shown in FIG. 30 and the parameters described below, SABA1.2 exhibited dose-dependent pharmacokinetics in this study as determined by area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) evaluation. The clearance (CL) for SABA1.2 at 10 mpk was 0.15 ml/hr/kg, the beta phase half-life (t_(1/2)) was 143 hours, the volume of distribution (Vz) was 30 mL/kg, and total drug exposure (AUCall) was 5,609,457 hr*nmol/L (Table 20). The clearance (CL) for SABA1.2 at 1 mpk was 0.4 ml/hr/kg, the half-life (t_(1/2)) was 124 hours, the volume of distribution (Vz) was 72 mL/kg, and total drug exposure (AUCall) was 214,636 hr*nmol/L (Table 20).

After SC or IV administration of SABA1.2, the beta-phase pharmacokinetic profiles were similar (FIG. 31). The clearance (CL) for SABA1.2 at 1 mpk IV was 0.22 ml/hr/kg, the beta phase half-life (t_(1/2)) was 125 hours, the volume of distribution (Vz) was 40 mL/kg, and total drug exposure (AUCall) was 357,993 hr*nmol/L (Table 20). The clearance (CL) for SABA1.2 at 1 mpk SC was 0.32 ml/hr/kg, the beta phase half-life (t_(1/2)) was 134 hours, the volume of distribution (Vz) was 62 mL/kg, and total drug exposure (AUCall) was 251,339 hr*nmol/L (Table 20). The SC relative bioavailability (F) compared to IV was 0.7.
